For the average consumer -- the kind that doesn't consider BitTorrent
a way of life, that is -- video content discovery can still be a
pretty big challenge, particularly if you dare venture outside the
friendly confines of YouTube and Hulu. A new service called Fuugo
looks to clean that mess up a bit, offering to aggregate a variety of
online services along with support for the full suite of digital over-
the-air standards around the globe: one-seg for Japan and Brazil, DVB-
H and DVB-T for Europe, and ATSC-M/H for North America. Fuugo's app is
tailored for devices ranging from smartphones to touchscreen all-in-
one PCs, featuring what appears to be a solid UI powered by gestures
-- swipe to change channels, for instance -- that heaps content from
various online and offline sources together into one hot mess of brain-
melting programming. It's being shown off for the first time here at
CES this week -- we'll be sure to track it down, but in the meantime,
follow the break for the full press release along with a video preview.
