I just hoped that Play TV would be my replacement of the "Digicorder" (my cable company's DVB-C dec). This because I want to use my ps3 as the 100% center of my living room. If Play TV were DVB-C it would have been the absolute emperor of my living room. Right now it's just a prince. I really hope a DVB-C version is planned an comming soon Aldo I haven’t looked for it tbh. I just hoped that Play TV would be my replacement of the “Digicorder” (my cable company’s DVB-C dec).

The DVB bit may be the same, but the method for sending the data is not. So to support cable, satellite etc etc etc would require different versions of PlayTV (have you seen a STB in the shops that supports them all? Doubt it...)

And I think it is what we use for HDTV here (unlike the UK apparently). So it's really just fine for here/almost made for the market - hopefully not too overpriced like everything else here though. A HD set top box is under $100 - but thats mostly the mpeg decoder/video/etc that playtv doesn't need. PVR's are somewhat more expensive. The review on eurogamer (i think?) stated there was no drm/control on the content and they could copy it anywhere, so those reports were either miscommunication or made up.

Henning thanks for editing the ridiculous spelling mistakes in my mail, I only spotted them later on, thinking "OMG I hope he edits that" :p Well Niels I think they redid the portablility thing after receiving to much complaints on the removal of the feature.

Although in Belgium you only receive 3 channels by DVB-T, I'm only interested in 1 (CANVAS) channel. PlayTV would have been nice if the portability of the recordings would have stayed a feature, but now it's not... So I will get no PlayTV and just stay stuck relying on a colleague to record my shows on his DVR :o) I wanted the PlayTV from the start.

Very strange that they didn't create a more versatile product a card reader is a must for it to be of any use.

I don't have cable so this would work well for me. But I would need to upgrade my hard drive, right now it's a 160 GB. I would get this if it ever came to the states.
