Take a break from gaming and watch digital television channels on your PlayStation 3 and PSP, with Play TV. Operating on the widely available Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial (DVB-T) format, PlayTV uses an incredibly quick and easy to use 7-day Electronic Programme Guide EPG2 that provides the navigation for programming the PVR features of PlayTV.
Please note: Videos require Macromedia Flash Player 7 or higher
PlayTV allows you to watch, pause and record free-to-air digital television channels using your PlayStation 3. You can pause live television, or rewind it if you missed something; record one channel while watching another; and access a comprehensive guide to the coming week's programmes.
If you also have a PSP, then it's easy to take the full service with you, wherever you go; if you are within range of a Wireless Internet connection, you can take advantage of PlayTV's great features from anywhere in the world, using Remote Play for PSP.
Not only can you watch your favourite shows live and in superb quality while you're away from home, you can record channels and watch them back later. In summary, you can do everything with your PSP that you could do if you were sat in front of the TV at home.
It works brilliantly; video quality is stunning and the menus are quick and easy to use. It's like having a high-end television and a recordable set-top box in the palm of your hand.
Remote Play allows you to take control of your PS3 from your PSP, so the advantages aren't restricted to PlayTV; you can watch movies or listen to music saved on the PS3 system's hard drive and even play games that support the feature.
PSP owners are already enjoying hundreds of great games, music and movies on the go, and with Play TV offering access to the world of digital high definition television, the device is set to strengthen its position as the ultimate handheld entertainment device.
Please Note: Play TV uses the freeview network and as such if you do not have freeview access in your area then Play TV will not work.
- PlayTV's two TV tuners are High Definition ready and are able to view, record and play back High Definition signals in full HD1080P to fully complement PS3's already impressive High Definition credentials.
- Unlike the electronic programme guides found on conventional satellite and cable services, PlayTV's EPG is lightning fast, and simple to use with either PS3's SIXAXIS™ wireless controller or the BD remote control to really enhance viewing pleasure.
- Intuitive controls, single button help features, tutorial videos and simple navigation make PlayTV a positive joy to use compared with the complexity of some standalone PVR models
- Seamless connectivity with PSP allows you to set recordings, watch Live TV and recorded TV programmes remotely on PSP via a Wi-Fi connection (using Remote Play feature). Alternatively, quickly transcode recorded TV shows for high quality viewing to PSP by USB cable for remote viewing away from the home.
- Optional on-screen graphical display provides a wealth of information about the status of PlayTV and provides quick access to programme information, stored TV programmes and the controls to pause or record live TV. PlayTV will also set the correct interface for either Standard Definition or High Definition displays, maximising the viewing experience.
- PlayTV will evolve with time, with great added value functionality being updated via PLAYSTATION®Network; a feature that sets it above all other set top boxes. PlayTV will never be out of date.
- Twin Digital high Definition tuners mean you can watch one program while recording another or even while playing a game!
