Sony seems to be moving forward with plans to make the PS3 a home entertainment center for your living room by turning it into a DVR.
The device, called PlayTV, is a combined television receiver and DVR, will be able to record live television and store the video on either a Playstation3 or Playstation Portable for viewing later.
PlayTV, which includes dual DVB tuners, is supposed to be able to record either individual programs or an entire series. It's also capable of receiving and recording hi-def signals. Additionally, when connected to a PS3 it will be able to transmit video to a PSP wirelessly.
It's supposed to be available in Spain, Germany, France, Italy, and Britain some time in 2008.
