5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
The twin DVB-T tuner hardware will have 1080p capability, and the software delivers the usual PVR functions and the ability to transfer recordings to a PSP for on-the-go playback. Content can also be streamed to a PSP via Wi-Fi. A seven-day EPG is supported, but presumably depends on stations offering a full over-the-air EPG rather then the crippled 'this program and the next' delivered by Australian broadcasters. Sony officials made the bold claim that "Intuitive controls, single button help features, tutorial videos and simple navigation make PlayTV a positive joy to use compared with the complexity of some standalone PVR models." Subsequent software updates delivering additional functionality will be delivered via the PlayStation Network. "With the introduction of PlayTV’s state of the art TV tuner and PVR functionality, PS3 is now the best choice of home entertainment hub for the whole family," said David Reeves, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. |
