Play TV What a Fantastic Invention for Your Playstation 3!

A friend of mine has just mentioned that he was going to get hold of one of these new PlayTV thingi’s and I have to admit I wasn’t all that sure what it was, I knew that something was mentioned about it at the recent Liepzig Conference but I hadn’t payed much attention to it or really understood what it did. It turns out its a proper wicked little invention, in essence its a Digital Freeview Tuner that plugs into one of the USB ports on your PS3, now that on its own is cool, but here is why it really is wicked…. the PlayTV gizmo allows you to PAUSE and RECORD Live TV on your PS3!!!

Now that is a seriously wicked invention, I’ve personally got Sky HD so its not a whole loads of use to me, but if you would like some of the functionality of Sky HD for the Freeview service then this is the perfect little gadget for you, it also works with your PSP!

Here is the blurb from the Playstation Website…

Watch, pause and record digital television on your PLAYSTATION 3, or grab your PSP and enjoy it on the move.

With PlayTV, you can watch, pause and record free-to-air digital television while you take a break from gaming, further expanding the entertainment possibilities of PLAYSTATION 3.

The PlayTV Tuner, which plugs into one of the PS3 system’s USB ports, is capable of showing and recording free-to-air digital television, and will allow you to record one channel while watching another. It features a comprehensive programme guide which lets you view listings and schedule recordings for the following week.

If you have a PSP, you can take all these great features with you, wherever you go. As long as you are within range of a Wireless Internet connection, Remote Play enables you to watch live television in superb quality, access previously recorded programmes and organise your media library.
