It would also allow Google to target ads at individual households through a link with its ad-brokering business Google TV, says the Wall Street Journal.
Based on a set-top box, the service is almost certainly based on Android - possibly a cut-down version - and allows users to search via queries typed on a keyboard rather than using a remote control. Viewers could create a personalised line-up of shows.
But it doesn't look likely to hit the mainstream any time soon, as it's apparently only a very small-scale test with a small number of Google employees. The company says it could be discontinued any time.
