While the main news out of TechCrunch Disrupt was their acquisition by AOL, there was a major win for a startup entertainment company that went unnoticed. Bee.TV spent three years developing their web, iPhone and soon to be iPad television recommendation app.

Their pitch: with so many hundreds of channels, TV is not usable anymore to find what you want to watch. By creating an interactive multimedia rich dashboard, (pulling in weekly show trailers, etc.) that recommends what your provider is currently airing, they may have not only solved the problem of making TV usable again, but also the quagmire of pleasing the cable giants.

After presenting at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco their iPhone app was downloaded 12,000 times and was ranked seventh in the iTunes App Store entertainment category.

Yaniv Solnik Co-Founder and CTO discusses their new iPhone apps, his plans to work with set-top boxes and cable providers and why he doesn't believe in "checking-in" to television.
