Series Link Essential…. Had Playtv since out and as Tivo owner, I still use my Tivo to record series and and Playtv for live tv, for the higher picture quality.

Also, would prefer it dropped older recordings rather than break on new recordings when runs out of disk space. I find there is too much management of recordings required. If I miss something after a week because run out of disk space, was not top of my must watch if have time list. Tivo allows to mark recordings as do not delete if required.

I’ve used Play TV for about a year now, and really find it useful…..However I record the music chart’s top 40 off of the radio for my girlfriend to listen on her MP3 player.

Has anyone else noticed how long it takes to transfer a radio recording from the library to the XMB? A TV recording takes about 7-10 secs. and could be 3gb in size, while a radio recoding can take from 25 mins to well…..all day to transfer and only be 0.7gb! Any way of speeding this up?

Please allow two recordings at once I understand playtv only has two tuners but it would be great to be able two record two programs at the same time if i’m out.

If anyone is reading this please ability to play the files on PSP, its madness we cant do this directly. Of course you can convert the files but this takes time. Join up your strategy and stop trying to be one step ahead of your loyal fan base. By the time you eventually start sharing this stuff every other games manuafacturer will be ahead of you or some third party will give us the portable solution we all want and we can leave PS3/PSP for good. Your trying to be to clever stop it, release the update now.

PLEASE can we have an ability to switch off the upscaling, or roll back to the previous version?

I am now totally reliant on Play TV, and whilst the picture has improved greatly since my last post on 9th April, watching the football the other night it was utter garbage. The pitch was pulsating and blocky, couldnt’ even read the numbers on players shirts let alone their names. How can it be that the match broadcast looked worse than a picture you’d expect 25 years ago, yet when the adverts came on they appeared superb?

Now PlayTV supports MPEG-4, here is a list of improvments to fully support MPEG-4 New Zealand Freeview HD

- AAC HEV2 support (the Playstation it’s self supports it but not PlayTV)
- AC3 5.1 (PlayTV only supports Dolby Digital 2.0 at the moment, the PS3 does support DD5.1)
- MHEG5 Freeview New Zealand EPG support.
- MPEG-4 recording from PlayTV
- Master volume control via BD remote
- Single button jump to PlayTV from XMB
