Sony's PlayTV launches in the UK next month, priced £70, allowing PlayStation 3 owners to record their favourite telly and also stream it to their PSPs to watch on the go.
PlayTV is a twin channel TV tuner with PVR software which lets you watch, pause and record live TV.
Killer USP for PSP
The real killer unique selling point is the ability to stream the TV content stored on your PS3 at home to your PSP on the go via Remote Play.
We will be bringing you a fully detailed preview of PlayTV in the coming days to detail this and all the other cool features on offer.
Sony currently has no plans to launch PlayTV in the US, which makes us happy that UK gamers finally get something first for once!

2. Techradar need to confirm that the following features are NOT available with the Playtv.
1. Not compatible with the new DVB-T2 HD standard which has been adopted by the uk for all freeview HD broadcasts.
2. Sony have removed the feature that allowed you to copy recorded programs to memory stick or pc etc.
Without these features this box is a bit of a red herring and sony are slightly misleading people.

1. This only seems to have one aerial connector, will it come with some kind of aerial splitter? or do they expect us to only watch TV through the playstation?
It would be really nice if this supported Freesat.
I'll be picking this up on launch day, it looks great.
