Marsdinho Posted 30 September, 2008 Share Posted 30 September, 2008 Has anyone got PlayTV yet for their PS3. Bought one off eBay for £50 brand new and got it delivered to work today. Im looking forward to getting back to my place, setting it up and having a look. Has anyone else got PlayTV, if so, what do you think of it so far.....

Baj Posted 30 September, 2008 Share Posted 30 September, 2008 Doesn't it only work on terrestrial-digital TV tho? Ie you can't feed your sky box into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still interested in it though, especially bearing in mind my Freeview box seems to be on the way out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsdinho Posted 30 September, 2008 Author Share Posted 30 September, 2008 Yeah, it is essentially a freeview box, but.... "Unlike any other video recorders, the PlayTV supports PSP remote play. With this astonishing feature, users are able to control the PlayTV device and watch TV wherever there's a WiFi connection. The catch though is that you need to keep your PS3 turned on and connected to the Internet for you to access these live TV broadcasts or recordings in your PSP while away from home."

True, but I've got access to a Slingbox via my phone, so I don't need that feature! I did download the PlayTV demo to see what the interface was like and it seemed quite good, so when my FV box does give up the ghost I think PTV will be the way forward for me.
