Techcrunch is reporting that the exciting online tv guide Meevee has been acquired by LiveUniverse. No amount has been provided by editor Michael Arrington but his guess is "less than $25 million." My guess is that an online video TV guide was a bit ahead of its time when they began operations in 2000. Today with almost every video clip offering an embeddable option, a tv guide might have more of a chance to make it big.

LiveUniverse has been on an acquisition spree as of late acquiring start page provider PageFlakes last month and video hosting service Revver a month earlier.

Tilzy is a NY-based online video guide that provides video show reviews along with a what to watch guide. They list hundreds of shows in their database. Check out our interview with the Tilzy founders.
