Three easy steps is all it takes to embark on your viewing pleasure for PlayTV. First, plug in your aerial antenna to connect it with the PlayTV box. Then connect your tuner with the PS3 unit via a USB cable that comes along with the package. Lastly, connect your PS3 into a standard or high-definition television. It is that simple and you now have free and unlimited access to digital broadcast.

After the installation process is complete, you can now enjoy the great features of this device. The best thing about its features is that it allows you to enjoy your favorite programs where and when you feel like watching. To access these features, simply go to the PlayStation 3's main menu and choose the "PlayTV" icon.

First off, the "LiveTV" is where you can stream digital live TV broadcasts for free. As soon as you activate this feature, you can either rewind, pause, or record these live broadcasts. Furthermore, the LiveTV caching capacity enables you to watch a program while recording another.

The EPG (or Electronic Program Guide) of the Play TV provides you a 7-day schedule listing of programs so you won't miss the schedules of your favorite program. Hence, you can look through the schedule in advance and change record settings. In relation to this feature, the "Schedule" feature enables you to set future recordings and run specific searches.

All shows or programs you have recorded are stored in the PlayTV's "Library". You can then sort these items according to date, genre, or time, to make scanning these shows more convenient for you.

If you can't afford to miss a show, then you should be glad for PlayTV's "Find and Record" feature. By typing in a keyword, it will automatically display any program related to your search. When you've found the result to your particular search, you can change recording options that are most convenient for you.

To cap all these features off, the PlayTV also offers you a chance to utilize your PSP unit. Apparently, the PS3 TV Tuner supports "Remote Play" so you can access all your digital broadcast recordings on your PS3 via your PSP. All you need is a Wi-Fi connectivity and you can enjoy digital TV viewing even when away from your living room. And with the on-screen manual, it is very easy to explore the multiple features of the PlayTV. - 14100
