Google isn’t happy with letting Apple be the only player in TV downloads:

Google will announce its plans to allow consumers to buy television shows or other videos that can be downloaded onto their computers at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Friday.

Citing people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal said Google is likely to unveil partnerships related to the new service with CBS Corp. and the National Basketball Association.

CES is starting up this weekend and this is just the first of what we expect to be many interesting announcements.
