Play Tv Software Ps3

Design If you're looking for a comprehensive design analysis then you've picked the wrong gadget: it's a black plastic box. It's about the size of a pack of cards, slightly curved we suppose but still pretty ugly. On the top of the box lives the PlayStation logo and a power LED. On what we'll call 'the front' is a mini USB port and a single antenna port — unfortunately there's no passthrough so you'll need to either make the PlayTV the last part of your antenna chain, or invest in a coaxial splitter (about AU$8). There's no remote in the box so you can either use the Sixaxis controller — a bit clunky for normal television watching — or invest in a.

I realise this is a long shot, but here goes! I have a PS3 with no working optical drive. As I generally use my XBOX, this tends not to. Record any streaming video. The only streaming video recorder and media server that lets you stream videos online or offline on your TV, tablet or phone. PS3; PlayTV installation disc is missing! Good luck with the disc try and find someone you know who was play tv already. Some will see it as software.

The PlayTV is wall/desk mountable, but seeing as how the unit needs to plug into the front of the PlayStation via USB anyway it lacks the discretion of other AV components. Features The PlayTV is a dual-tuner PVR addition to the PlayStation 3. With dual tuners you can record one show while watching another or while playing a game or a Blu-ray. While the system warns you of gameplay issues if background recording is turned on we experienced very few. You can't record two channels at once, though. The PlayTV is compatible and features a seven-day program guide. The device lacks any sort of 'Series Link' recording, though PlayTV's developers promise it's in the works.

PlayTV content can also be viewed over Remote Play, which means it can be viewed with a or the new phone. NB: even if you have one of the new we'd suggest to 500GB or higher, otherwise it'll get full of HD programming real quick. Don't even think about adding a PlayTV to a without upgrading.

An hour of HD material will take up 10 gigs of space, and if you only have a 40GB PS3 you'll get less than three hours on average of material. Plus there is no way to change quality settings to squeeze more space out of your drive. You may also want to back up your trophies as well, and to do this go to Game Trophy Collection. Press 'Green Triangle' Sync with server.

Set-up of the device is fairly straightforward — we simply plugged it in, put in the disc and the wizard walked us through it. If you can get digital reception in your area then the PlayTV will work fine. The device comes with a seven-day EPG but like other devices it takes a bit of coaxing to get it to update all the channels — ie, you'll need to go to each of the main channels in turn to update the first grid. We found that the carousel-like interface — while different to the usual XMB-style Sony usually employs — was still relatively intuitive.

The guide itself was easy to use, and users can set up their own favourite channels and get a tailored guide if they wish. We were a little miffed to find that the guide and channels don't loop — you start at One (1) and end at Go (90) and need to scroll backwards if you want to go back again.

Hi, My PS3's Blu-Ray drive finally died a number of weeks ago. Rather than fix it, I thought it would be a good idea to replace it with one of the new Super Slim PS3s ones and just use the old machine in the spare room for downloading games, BBC iPlayer etc.

Plays Tv Download

You can download so much these days, I didn't think it would be an issue. I also bought PlayTV for it, to use as a PVR. However, I just assumed that as PlayTV was an accessory, it would 'just install', however, it came with a disc! Is there any way I can download the playtv software? Obviously, this is useless without the hardware, so I cannot see what harm making it downloadable would be? I tried downloading the demo from the PSN store, in the hope it would see the hardware and update itself, sadly, this didn't work!

If your console is no longer playing any discs (it does sound like a reader issue) what you could try is If you go into the menu and got through option 2-5, and after each option try the Play TV disc to see if it allows you to load it and install the software at all? Hi Rabid, It's definitely the blu-ray drive, it now has a new HDD.

It died reading a game, everything else about the machine is fine and games install correctly when I download them. The irony is too, that even if I do manage to install it from the disc, it will replace itself with the latest version 2.0.3 anyway (from the web). It seems silly I need a disc to be able to kick this off!

I have actually found the pkg files I need, but I guess there's no way of getting them to execute? I am pretty sure there's no legal reason for not having them on the shop - is there a chance it could be offered? The other option is to pay for and download the update.however, does this require it to be installed first? The other PS3 has a working drive, is there any way to transfer the files from this?
