PS3 TV tuner

[plfrench]

Does anyone know when this is planned to be released?

My video player died last night, and I'm picking my PS3 up today, so I thought this would save me buying a DVD recorder...

Sometime early next year in Europe, Scandinavia to follow. Its called PlayTV.
It will pick up all European free-to-air channels (so you may not need sky to watch the DTM!)
It also lets you record to the ps3's hdd and it will accept those cards you get in sky and virgin boxes so you'llbe able to upgrade it.

Thanks John, I borrow an old VCR off of someone for a bit then! Not worth buying a DVD recorder for that short period of time...
