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).

still no clear answer on the "will it record when you're doing other things" question, then?
According to the article that goes with the video BBC NEWS | dot.life | A blog about technology from BBC News | PS3 takes on SlingboxOriginally Posted by directhex
"At the moment you can't record TV in the background while playing a game on the PS3 but I'm told the software developers are working hard to add the feature. If it isn't available at launch, the feature could be added later as a software update."
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.
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
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.

Really looking forward to this - love the way the PSP and PS3 link up
