PlayTV hands-on: Turn your PS3 into a PVR

BBCHD Definitely supported?

I think not. The current plan is to use DVB-T2 to transmit HD on freeview and I don't believe the tuners in PlayTV will be DVB-T2 as the standard isn;t even ratified.

If this thing comes to the US market it could be huge. And springboard into sales of the PSP.

Should we suppose the only MPEG2, but not more elaborate MPEG4 standard of DBV-T will be supported?

This is ridiculous, . . Sony said LAST YEAR that it would DEFINITELY be available BEFORE March of 2007, . . . it's going into June. . . why the UK has such a hard on for the PS3 I don't know, . . I have had mine here in the states since launch day, . and for the life of me, besides bluray, I can't figure out ONE advantage, . . but I can tell you a handful of disadvantages......It's been out longer here in the States, and if you go the the OFFICIAL PSU forums, you will also see that the PS3 is experiencing freezing, bluetooth issues and disk drive issues in record numbers, . . I am one of the morons that am experiencing the first two.. . . Now I got a 360 after suffering with a PS3 and no games for it for a year and have had NOT ONE PROBLEM, . . it hooks up to my PC with the touch of a button and they have all but eliminated the tech problems. . Sony must first ADMIT that there is PROBLEMS with the PS3 if they don't want it to turn into a RROD issue, but at least MS admitted and addressed the issue, . . I'm just now waiting on Sony.
