Re: BBC take first look at Play TV, the PS3 exclusive TV tuner
Nice.. so presumably you can still use the ps3 for gaming whilst it's recording TV?
Looks promising - assuming they get a remote out to go with it (using the controller looks nasty and doesn't have WAF).

Re: BBC take first look at Play TV, the PS3 exclusive TV tuner
still no clear answer on the "will it record when you're doing other things" question, then?

Re: BBC take first look at Play TV, the PS3 exclusive TV tuner
are the games really not using the PS3 that fully right now? I know its hard to program for multi-cell proccessors but still... surely it should be maxed out.
I think the main plus for this, is using your PSP (if you somehow you weren't satisfied with a DS!) as a remote viewer. One nice win over the slingbox.

Re: BBC take first look at Play TV, the PS3 exclusive TV tuner
hey this could be really cool. but will the tv tuner allow me to input my digibox into it via its scart lead? if its just for freeview im not at all interested
*edit* ive just watched the video, freeview only, that sucks bigtime. you can get hdd freeview boxes easily enough already.
