PcAdvisor: PlayTV Review

PcAdvisor:

"Setup is simplicity itself. You insert the CD that comes as part of the pack, hook up the Sony PlayTV box to your Sony PS3 and let it run through the TV tuner installation process. The Sony PlayTV breakout box itself is a fairly ugly thing, but it's a mere 12cm long and can at least be hidden behind the games console. It doesn't need an external power supply and integrates well with the Sony PS3 interface.

Be prepared to stump up for a Sony PS3 remote control if you buy a Sony PlayTV tuner, to get the most out this Sony PS3 TV adaptor kit. Once you do, if you can put up with stuttering playback of recordings, you can dump your regular Freeview set-top box and start watching and recording Freeview TV. Sony PlayTV installs faultlessly, is unobtrusive and does an good job of bringing all your entertainment options under a single, attractive interface."
