Sony Play TV Reviews

I think this play tv tuner is of great design and i believe that the only flaw with it is not with the unit or software itself, but the playstation 3 console.

Play TV is an add on to the PS3 allowing you to record programs that are shown on any of the freeview channels onto your PS3's hard drive. FANTASTIC!This item is briliant, it works really well with the PS3, lets you record one thing while watching another and even records while you are playing games and a pop up box shows at the top so you know whats recording. And the plus side is that it was easy for my partner to use, she can get a bit annoyed with anything new technology wise but she knows how to play back recorded programs and how to record so fantastic.The play tv will also work with your blu ray remote control, you get a nice little overlay that comes with play tv so that you know what all the buttons do.

"Watch, pause and rewind live TV" says the ads. It certainly does all of this but I dont believe it does it all that well. I bought it when it came out hoping to use it to record all those late night programmes or programmes that were on at the same time as each other. It is simple to set up and forms part of ...  Read the complete review

My fiancé and I don't watch a lot of TV but the programmes we do like to watch (Kickboxing, X Games) tend to be on during the early hours, so we wanted an inexpensive PVR (Personal Video Recorded) to record a few things. So we figured that PlayTV would be a useful addition to our Playstation 3 (PS3). WHAT IS ...  Read the complete review
