Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3 PlayTV Release Date and Price Announced

So can you make the PS3 into a Slingbox application and forward the video to a PSP?

HD recording via cable is impossible without a cable card slot in the USA. And to get a cable card slot in your product you have to get certified which adds major $$$ to any such product because the cable companies rape you for the licenses. So the likelihood of a PS3 or 360 becoming a DVR in the USA is practically nil. The cable companies force you to use their lame products and they hold all the cards.

 luckily Verizon is maving into the cable business then. =]

Verizon is not going to be any less proprietary.



Need dvb-s so we can get Dish or BEV. It'll also have to support plug-ins.



sounds cool... but as it seems with the general trend with the ps3, it seems rather expensive. Id choose Sky+ over it anyday...
