PS3 PlayTV updated for HD
High Definition support added to the PlayStation 3 digital television addon.
Sony has announced that it has released version 1.21 of the PlayTV software. PlayTV is a hardware addon for the console that lets users watch and record terrestrial digital TV broadcasts.
The main feature of this update is support for high definition broadcasts.
Here's the full feature list for the update:
- Play TV now lets you Watch, Pause and Record High Definition TV for DVB-T standard broadcast. In countries that are launching free digital HD channels you will now be able to both watch and record them through your PS3 with PlayTV.
- Aino remote play support. If you get the new Sony Ericsson Aino mobile phone with PS3 remote play features, we have optimized the user interface of PlayTV for the mobile phone screen so that you get the best mobile PlayTV experience possible.
- Update of the PS3 to System Software 3.0. The update 3.0 for your PS3, if you haven’t done it already, will make sure that you have the mobile phone function in the remote play settings. You will need this if you want to experience PlayTV on the go with your Aino mobile phone.
- Better standard definition upscaling. We have managed to improve the SD upscaling feature of PlayTV so when you are watching SD channels on an HD screen they will look as good as they possibly can.
