This will make interesting reading for sports buffs; the sports media company, Perform Group, says it has agreed a partnership to integrate its livesport.tv platform, a network of online sports channels, into the so-called 'smart' TV product line of South Korean firm LG.
Smart televisions allow people to connect directly to the Internet through their television sets so this move may be seen as a threat to the current subscription giants, British Sky Broadcasting.
Livesport.tv has content including European and South American football, tennis, rugby and snooker. LG plans to offer the service in five countries: the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, with each nation getting commentary in its own language.

Perform has been an impressive performer on the FTSE 250, rising 47% since the start of this year.
