  • what about america?

  • In new Zealand we have freeview but u need a satellite and a decoder to watch it and as the only way to watch tv in nz for free is now freeview I want to get it. So what I want to know is will I need anything other than a ps3 and a screen to watch tv? I won't need a satellite or decoder if I buy this it's all in that tiny box??

  • @Georgeosaurus im in aus and we have free view aswell this is pretty much the set top box like for freeview aka pvr so you need a aerial and all that stuff

  • so frkn annoying. messes up if it has too much videos in the Library...otherwise, pretty useful.

  • @jacksonyoung456

    nope, pity... :(

  • its free in australia

  • @gusto1978 damn!!!!!!1

  • UK > WORLD...

  • .... that was one long ass second >_<

  • whats the song#?

  • @warrenamorris

    The song is new soul by yael naim

  • i have it, its so bullshiet

  • 0:10 look like Windows Media Center

  • Why is this better than just using a freeview box? If I get one of these and go abroad with it do i have to leave it at home with my playstation 3 or can I take the equipment with me???

  • What other channels besides itv and bbc can you watch on it?

  • Your full of it.. We have like 50 free channels in The Netherlands :') if you have an upgraded package (wich costs about 35euros extra per YEAR) you get like 900 channels.

  • actually, it also works here in NZ as we have freeview as well, so its not just UK that have this PS3 peripheral.

  • ┌∩┐[0_0] ┌∩┐

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SLOW, BUT COOL BUT, GIRL BUT, HUMPY SONG!?!?!?!?! lalalala lalalal alalal THOSE READING THIS GO FUCK YOUR SELF!!!

  • I got my PlayTV free with my ps3 lol :) lucky me :D

  • I live in Japan so I got the 250gb with the torne bundle and I love it!! Not perfect however. Can't edit or skip commercials, can only export to PSPs. Video is recorded and divided in several .TS001 and so on for aout every 20min of video. Don't know how to encode to mp4, mkv or avi. If anybody has an idea please let me know!

  • Can somebody help me, I am becoming increasingly frustrated. There are 2 shows I want to record. First show starts at 10pm till 11.15. I only want to record from 10-11 then record a film that starts at 11.

    PLAYTV wont let me do this. It is making me choose between the two, and will only record from 10-11.15 for the first show. How can I stop this? I need a manual record feature! I want to record the film at 11 but this wont let me.

    SO FRUSTRATING. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIT!

  • Ehm I live in the Netherlands and we don't have a smartcard? That's only for digital reception, you can just use cable, so that's not true.

  • @tlsviddies so can u record stuff from a sky box on to the playtv

  • @08davidcregan1 YES YOU CAN!!!!!! NO GO FUCK YOUR SELF ┌∩┐[0_0] ┌∩┐

  • @Saimone008 get a life

  • @08davidcregan1 My life is to tell people to GO FUCK YOUR SELF!!!!

    ┌∩┐[0_0] ┌∩┐

  • uk suck belgium rules and shut up about belgium your country sucks verry hard , this video sucks

  • we have PlayTV now in Australia, no license fees or encoding unlike the UK/Eu

  • Does the ps3 have to be turned on for it to record programmes? Doesnt sound right as your not meant to have a console on constantly for hours

  • @dodoegg1 it turns it self on if you leave it on standby, but you have to set it up to do that in the settings

  • @dodoegg1 dunno if you have found out but no it doesnt as long as the console is on standby once the show you want to record starts the PS3 will turn itself on and record

  • @GreendragonDMX1 ye thanks anyway. I still can't get the ps3 from auto switching my tv over when a show is about to be recorded. There is no way to stop it turning the tv over!

  • lol nice song!!! whats the name of the song???

  • i got play tv about 2 months ago ,it was great for a while then it began freezeing up ,if you try and record something while watching a tv program it will freeze. so you dont get your program your watching and you dont get what you were recording.

    im going to get a HD set top box that allows me to record...

    dont waste your money on this....im pissed off because i missed alot of programs i would have liked to record but couldnt due to the playTV not being able to do what i wanted.

  • very cool , infurtunelly i cant get it

  • whats dis song called?

  • if anyone wants to get free playstation network points anytime they want then go to this place here psncodegenerator dot info no downloads no virus no entering info just free codes

  • @rueboyHSV u just proved how this is dumb, everything this (playTV) can do can already be done with a set top box. from the HSV in ur name i assume ur Australian aswell and in Australia digital TV is becomming the norm because the government is phasing out analogue signals therefor TVs now days have digital tuners built into them, so why pay more for a ad on that TVs can already do

  • well your forgetting the market where people dont have digital tuners already in there tv's, my plasma is one of the first ones that came out and it doesnt have a digital tuner in it, not to mention the thousands of people that have old school crt tv's from the late 90's early 2000's, plus the amount of room you save having a seperate box... you wouldnt make a good businessman, and imma kiwi not a aussie@MrGrog88

  • tap in Chill Winston and find out - good luck

  • you buy a tv so u can watch tv, u get bored of tv so u buy a gaming console.

    you get bored of gaming so u want to watch tv again, u buy a $70 ad on for ur console so u can watch tv programs through ur console onto your tv!

    so at the end of it all u have a ariel to the play tv box then a usb to ur ps3 then av cables from ur ps3 to ur tv and to ur power point! just to achieve something that you already could do when u first bought the tv!!!

    Does anyone else see how dumb this is?

  • How about if your wife or kids want to watch programmes on the main TV when you want to watch something, ie live sport! You can plug the playstation tv in another room to your PC monitor and watch your own programmes.

    I take it you are single, but one day you will learn and buy one of these.

  • @dmcd808 what household these days only has one TV?

    how about u tell the wife and kids to fuck off cas sport gets priority

  • Chill Winston!

  • @dmcd808 Chill Winston? huh?

  • @dmcd808 btw why dont u just buy a TV tuner for ur PC?

  • You get alot more features, plus where I live the reception is terrible unless you use a digital set top box, but play tv is better because you get extra channels plus your able to record them while getting crystal clear reception, I think I see how dumb you are @MrGrog88

  • @rueboyHSV i didnt say the item was dumb, just the concept.

    Playstation is a company who are out there to make money, and this is just a easy way for them to jump on the digital TV bandwagon and make some easy money. Simple as that

  • @MrGrog88 Yea uh its called business ever heard of it? of-course PlayStation are going to jump on the digital tv bandwagon and ynot? I am glad they have because now I don't have to go buy a digital set top box that takes up more room and doesn't even do half the stuff play tv can, Playstation figure why let there users go pay some other company money for a digital top box when they can just create one themselves and let there users use there existing ps3 allowing them to have everything in 1 box

  • @MrGrog88 anotherthing what company isnt out there to make money? lmao they wouldnt be a company if they didnt go out and try make money would they dipshit? hahaah

  • @rueboyHSV

    your a Kiwi are you? well it shows.

    your grammar is terrible, and you cant seem to grasp the points Im making.

    So to put it simply you're an idiot and stop wasting my time.

    Its a pointless product, but if you wanna waste your centrelink money on it then go ahead

  • @MrGrog88 I grew up in Australia dipshit, and you aussies have the worst gramma mate, fair dinkum oi oi oi lmao, and as far as centrelink goes, most of them are lazy aussies, Im a mechanic mate, I earn my living, and the most lazy guys at my work are aussies all they do is complain about shit hahaha, anyway play tv kicks ass, if it was such a stupid idea why is sony billionairs, and your not hahaha

  • @rueboyHSV

    "fair dinkum" and "oi oi oi" are slang words, not grammar.

    they are probably complaining all the time because they are always fixing your shit work.

    it is a stupid idea, but its brilliant marketing.

    lastly thats a terrible insult because i can easily ask you the same rhetorical question

  • @MrGrog88 grammer slang its all shit use of the english language, so before you criticize me look in ya own backyard fagot. and how is it a stupid idea when they have sold over a million units? wtf are you on dickhead, its only a stupid idea when the sales rate = 0 i think your a stupid idea

  • @rueboyHSV "grammer is shit"

    proof you are a complete moron, im over this discussion

    cya

  • @rueboyHSV No Australian's I know talk like that. And those people aren't lazy because their Australian that's just this generation, its like that over seas too if you've been there you would see.

  • @rueboyHSV You, good sir are an idiot

  • @MrGrog88 no i see how its a good idea..if u own a HDTV the TV gets all the digital Chanels anyway..so you buy Play TV to record..you dont own a HDTV so you go hmm i need to buy a digital set top box..yet you own a game console so you think well ill buy PlayTV..its a set top box and i can record stuff to my PS3 harddrive win win..and one question if you have the money for a HDTV and a PS3..why are you still using AV Cables?? THAT is just dumb!!!!

  • is this in the USA yet?

  • IS IT GOOD THOUGH??????

  • Re PS3 RAM TV INVERTER

  • CAn you record you ps3 gameplay with this?

  • @samir9382 yes u can but not when the ps3 is turned off

  • is freeview in HD?

  • COOL SONG

  • DONT NO

  • DONT NO

  • Can it play in HD?

  • nope, not yet

  • @iHKG0

    Yes and No.

    It supports MPEG4, and will UPSCALE to HD from standard SD quality programmes.

    however, it uses a DVB-T tuner and so when the UK switches to DVB-T2 in the near future, which will include 4 new HD channels, the playTV unit will NOT support this.

    Playtv - upscalling of CURRENT programmes to HD but no BBCHD/ITVHD/ e.t.c

  • so its basically watching television through your ps3... well i dont really want have to turn my ps3 on everytime i go to watch television... also can you rewind live television.?? i heard that was another feature but i haven't seen it.

  • Ill wait for this actually, we Have Playstation TV Right now..

    And i first want to see how that turns out..

    If it Turns out well?. Then PlayTV is Useless in my eyes.

  • title of the song ??

  • God dam that things good! I never relised ps3 could do this! Getting one for christmas so iv been looking at the stuff and games... im now ordering this! :D

  • hey could you not just go on the browser and go on sky player

  • I can't get this but, since you can record shows can you record your gameplay?

  • Well, what about if you have a shitty connection to freeview? I barely get any channels on my tv coz the aerial is crap, would that render Play TV as useless as the TV channels i get now? Please reply to this comment.

  • Can you watch live tv without the PS3 being turned on??

  • why do you belgium f*ckers

    call the people that want to make money f*ckers not us

  • I got Polish television CYFRA+ which is satelite television. But I can't record anything so If I buy the Sony Freeview digital TV and plug to my PS3 and TV then I will be able to record tv shows and everything i want?

    Sorry for my English. Still learning.

  • will you need a tv licence for this beast?

  • Er yes.. You need one for EVERY tuner.. How can you not know this?!!

  • it was hope. hope for a loop hole in the system. still a damn good deal.

  • Haha, usually it's the rest of the world that has to wait for cool things.

  • hahahahahahahha Europe only :D

  • Wow this is so unfair it isn't available in North America yet, Sony hurry up and bring it to North America.

  • Dont worry buddy, you aint missing much.

    Worst of the worst channels available.

    only a handful worth watching.........

  • Good but when they make the North American there better be good shows lol

  • Lol I Know They R Always late In Canada

  • whats the name of the song of the the start

  • new soul

  • now do you have to be conected to the internet for it to work

  • no all you need is an arial even if its a crappy indoor 1

  • australia gets play tv hd :)

  • Whats the point of project natal? i dont really get it. Why i would want to be the controller, xbox 360 are very known for be easy games to beat. Games are meant to be a challange and remove your stress, natal will only get yourself tired.

  • lol it is said to be an advantage over the xbox 360. well i have both a 360 and ps3 both gud but the 360 is still ahead of the ps3. xbox will soon be having an update as they now have a contract with SKY TV wich lets u watch any channel any time thru the 360 lol shuts sony up. if that dosent make u feel 360 is ahead then check out PROJECT NATAL 360. u'll be convinced.

  • blah blah blah thats all im hearing

  • sony had banned us from the good shit

  • Humax PVR= ~ 17 watts power consumption

    PS3 with PlayTV= ~ 130 watts avg.

    What's the point?

  • whats it mean by you can watch it anywhere in the world on your psp, explain please

  • with remote play u can turn on ur ps3 with ur psp then if u have a play tv u can turn that on and watch ur tv shows and recordings

  • "later this year",... of what year?. Anyways, not in North America.

  • i couldnt even afford a PS3 ....

  • why not dude?

  • to much responsibilities, to much to pay at the end of the month, need to save lots of money for the future... if, if i managed to buy one, i need to think about hwo to earn more money to buy the expensive blueray disc, my salary is 1600, ps3 is 1600 too here .. haha ... its alright , my neighbour has 360 and ps3, can jump there anytime,,;lol u own ps3 dude ?

  • lol as the ps3 is £280 i sold some things on ebay and got some money then by surprise i got another £200 so i had way over £350. Thus I am getting a ps3 and PlayTv and a big hardDrive for my ps3 :D

    and yes its gonna be a 2.5 HDD maybe a 500gb or 320gb

  • lol anything for game right ? i think i should register for Paypal and go it your style, eBay , coz i want to get rid of my ancient notebook but if i managed to buy a ps3 , buying the games is another story ..

  • Eh, there is some pretty cheap games on PSN and of course there are always bargin bin games man.

  • this isn't true. in belgium and holland you can watch tv without samrtcard. you have analog tv and digital. digital is with an smartcard and with a digicorder or something else.

  • i knew it was too good to be true

  • can this unlock locked digital channels »?

  • do u get like sky channels wiv play tv ?

  • ye will it work in ireland plz plz tell me

  • good somethings come out in the uk first btw its £50 and its brilliant have a few froblems with dave though and dave ja vu

  • HOW MUCH N IS IT OUT NOW N THE STATES?

  • it isnt out in the US and may never be according to sony

  • Haha Europe Kicks ass!

    I do feel sorry for everyone else though.

  • I WANT THIS 4 REAL IM DEADASS

  • will it work in ireland???

  • nice.

  • song make me vomit on my lunch....

  • My government has fucked me :(

    only a few channels and the rest is crap! Great...

  • its called new soul by Yael Naim

  • i may buy that, looks good just wondering, some channels on freeview you have to use topup TV, so does playTV have that?

  • what song is that?

  • Question: If i already have an aerial going into my current tv, will i need a seperate aerial going into the back of my ps3 to get playtv?

    Or can i pick up the signal for playtv through the aerial plugged into my tv and not my ps3

    Because i don't want to take the aerial out of my current tv because i may still use that to watch freeview, and i dont really want to get a new aerial installed for playtv. or do i have to?

  • you just plug the aerial in the back of your tv in the back of the playtv box

  • The title of the songs?

  • The title of the songs?

  • You don't need it in belgium when you have digital television.

  • Whats the song doods?.

  • The UK doesn't have any HD broadcasts on terrestrial yet!

  • i cant wait untill it comes out in canada

  • it this on the usa ps3

  • Got this for Christmas, and it's brilliant!

  • Yeh, i guess. But i read somewhere that you wont be able to record in HD, also i was watching another video saying that you wont be able to copy and move your recorded content. And no, i dont own a 360. Ps3 all the way for me.

  • WTF is this shit!!. If i want to record tv i just use tivo, which can record in full 1080p, while this shitty liitle play tv only records in SD. Secondly id rather be playing games on my console, not watching FUCKING TV!!

  • Dude, what? I'm itching for this to be released in Australia! It's 1/10th the price of Tivo, it saves media to PS3 hard-drive which can then be moved anywhere & it looks like a great in native HD!

    You are whack (probably own a 360 too)

  • Well why would I want to watch t.v on a gaming console and I got games to play which is way better than stupid t.v.

  • cause some ppl like me have a projetor . so we want to watch freeview in HD on a 100 inch screen . so we buy play tv . which is alot smaller and also doesnt need another power suply or HD cable.

  • well it ever be available in the us

  • does your ps3 have to be switched on the whole time your watching tv on your psp

  • Here's assuming this would be worthless in the US, if you could even buy one here. lol

  • the connection with the psp looks soo cool!

  • does it work in Ireland?and do you have to pay monthly fees or anything like that?or do you just buy it and its yours for no other paying?

  • Cool Its Kind Off A Capture Card Too

    Awesome

  • does it have sports channels like sky sports setanta sports and so on

  • it probably doesnt because its freeview isnt it!

  • where can i get one?

  • Currys do it for under £60, getting mine next week.
