Summary Box: Google TV signs up content partners

COMING TO GOOGLE TV: TBS, TNT, CNN and HBO are among the major media outlets providing special features for a Google technology that weds Web surfing with television viewing. Amazon.com Inc. and Netflix Inc. also are providing some of their most popular services.
