Exclusive YouView has welcomed the 'expected' announcement of a launch for Google TV in the UK.

The first details have emerged of what we can expect from our YouView devices, with a detailed technical specification revealing what the BBC-backed service will bring.

Sky is working to provide content for the YouView platform, according to a release by the BBC-backed IPTV project.

Ofcom's director of strategy for the UK Jonathan Thompson is excited by the prospect of a battle between Sky, Virgin Media, YouView and Google for the 'homepage of your television'.

YouView has lost another key name from its hierarchy but replaced non-executive chairman Kip Meek with an even more familiar figure in the UK – Lord Sugar.

YouView is hoping to become the Freeview of the connected world when it launches in 2012, believing that the delays the service has faced will make for a better product.

The makers of YouView have officially announced that the IPTV platform will not have a full consumer launch in 2011, instead it will now be available in 2012.

YouView, the IPTV venture backed by the BBC and other big names, could face a delay of up to six months due to technical hitches.
