So his ps3 doesn't play HD tv? Why doesn't he just buy a popcorn hour for $199?

[jupiterbroadcasting]

He does have a Popcorn hour... They are ok.

[furrycushion]

I don't have a popcorn hour so I'm not their fanboys, and the PS3 is certainly sexier than a popcorn hour. But because of it being locked down it cannot directly play HD movies/TV. So if he wants to play the hidef content he mentioned in part one then he would have to use something else.

I'm not sure where you say that... I play back HD videos through my PS3 all the time. MPEG, h.264, WMV, AVCHD.. etc

Why are people on youtube always leaving such shity comments, most of you are assholes.

"work off that fat from all that rubbish junk food"

would you say that to someones face? and to think all this guys is doing is trying to share his knowledge?

Calm down all you keyboard warriors or just shutup!

@mcardenas23 you get what you pay for, however expensive does not always equal better, as it could be someone being a dick and price gouging their stuff. it'd be nice of the 360 had blue ray but it makes me wonder if anyone's hack it with a blue ray drive and have it work perfectly in one.

was it just a cheap tv tuner (video capture) card you put into your dell? I like this segment as it's something of a tutorial for me so I can make a decent but cheap htpc setup.

Cool videos, excellent quality and clarity. Are you a gadget-head for fun or professionally. I started to laugh to myself when you were discussing how you were able to utilize the Satellite DVR with an OTA antenna and still use the PS3 for streaming, etc... I could just imagine myself trying to explain this to my gadget-challenged father on a weekend when he is house sitting. He usually has an overall look of pathetic blankness when I try to explain my current (rather basic) system.

sell out!

Great Video, yes, I never thought about the ps3 which I tried your idea and it's great. Well, I am waiting for your next project on xbox. Well, I already invested in ps3 which blue tooth is great and I followed your directions on having one open aea to watch everything... Yes, when you want to watch tv that is all you want to do.. Keep it simple..

[MrGeorgeMunroe]

Some great ideas. I have been trying to figure out how to do this myself.
