Product Description
PLAYSTATION 3 already offers cutting-edge gaming and a High Definition Blu-ray Disc movie player, and soon you'll be able to watch, pause and record free-to-air digital television, thanks to PlayTV. It couldn't be easier to set up; simply plug a TV aerial into the back of the PlayTV Tuner, connect the PlayTV Tuner to your PS3 using a USB cable and then follow the on-screen instructions. And once you're up and running, you can record one channel while watching another or playing a PS3 game; see what's on now and next, with the easy to use Programme Guide; and watch TV when you're out and about, using Remote Play for PSP. In fact, you can enjoy all of PlayTV's great features on your PSP, whether you want to watch your recorded programmes or schedule new recordings. All you have to do is find a Wireless hotspot and activate the Remote Play feature. PlayTV is another reason to have PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP at the centre of your living room, and it's coming soon.

1 out of 5 stars PlayTV keeps crashing   November 18, 2008
Mike (Bucks, UK)

This add-on has proven to be more trouble than it's worth. It wouldn't install at first, but then installed successfully after a complete system restore. Now it has crashed again and the PS3 freezes if you try to run the application. I suggest that you hang on to your money until Sony make this system more reliable.

Neach (London)
Got this about 3 weeks ago. Was working great, could record and watch TV through my PS3. Then sometimes it would loose connectivity with my Bluetooth remote. I updated the system's firmware and that seamed to work. Now when you record a program it will record for about 10mins then it will freeze, so I can't really use this for recording now. I am waiting for the next update to see if they fix the problem. PS3 support is really not much help either.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic   November 5, 2008
Mr. Sam Yarker (Cornwall, UK)
product arrived and is fantastic, i bought this to replace a freeview recorder id bought from a shop and that didnt work very well.
Was really easy and quick to set up, the quality of the menus and the live tv is really good and is the best freeview reciever ive had.
Ok sometimes the EPG doesnt always have all the details when its first turned on, but give it a few mins and ive not had a problem.
Also for all the people in reviews who wrote that if you start recording with the unit switched on or if you switch the unit on while its background recording, if you then try and turn it off again it goes back to background recording and WILL automatically turn its self off again. Which is a very handy feature.
But back to the product, all the recording works fine and was easy to use. The pause and rewinding of tv works realy well and is so easy to use. and also finding the programs uve stored is really easy.
so overall a fantastic device for the money.

Just one negative, but not sonys fault, if you have a 40gb harddrive then you will need to upgrade ure harddrive to a bigger one, cause my games alone only left me with 5gb when i checked.



1 out of 5 stars Great gadget, poor reception   October 30, 2008
MKFan (UK)
0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Although this is a great gadget for the ps3 the reception is worse than my 20 digibox. Never had such poor reception as with playtv. I have since replaced this with my previous cheap digibox as you get breaks in signals every minute and impossible to watch tv.
Another negative is that playtv only records programmes as per the programme guide times. It does not record according to time settings. Numerous times my programmes have overrun, playtv stops recording and therefore does not record the whole of the episode. There is no funtion to programme the playtv to overrun the recording by a couple of minutes.
Not totally useless but wouldn't recommend this.



5 out of 5 stars en Espana para cuando?   October 15, 2008
J. HERNANDEZ (Espana)
1 out of 5 found this review helpful

Yo el dia que salio en UK me lo compre por AmazonUK. En dos dias lo tenia en casa y por solo 80 euros todo incluido. Puedo grabar y pasar lo grabado a el XMB de la consola o a un disco duro externo. Sin ninguna cortapisa de DRM, ni nada .... El menu es genial. Hace bien Sony en no bajarse los pantalones con la $gae si es verdad que lo han hecho por eso. A mi me da igual, yo ya lo tengo y con los menus en Espanol... Pobre comercio en Espana, son los perjudicados...
$gae es anacronica, igual que las discograficas,... Los artistas que cobren por actuar en directo. Acceso gratuito a la cultura... Vaya pais de chupopteros y vividores...
