The UK Demo trailer for Sony's PlayTV has hit the web, and we'd have to say we're quite impressed with what we saw. The video is a no-frills take on what the program essentially has to offer, and really, it looks like the program itself is no-frills.

It showed the various features like the following:
  • View, Record & Rewind Live TV
  • Fast and easy to use Guide
  • Background recording during gameplay
  • Keyword programme search
  • Remote Play access for PSP
Personally, what I'm really excited about is the Rewind Live TV function. Imagine rewinding over and over antics from the World's Craziest Videos or something. That's bound to be a hoot! And of course, how can you not be excited as well with the Remote Play access for the PSP? Cool, huh?

Anyhow, it's all looking very promising and we're sure you can't wait to go see it for yourself. So go ahead, just click the play button in the embed below and you're good to go.

i cant see why they cant bring it to north america or is it because the cable companies and sattelite companies dont want it?

» Because

this works on the DVB-T network which I don't think they use in America/Canada/Mexio etc.



Then again, America has the PSN Video Store and the PAL territories don't so it's a fair trade off.

What about copying (not only viewing over Remoteplay) to the PSP??

» Hmm..

We should get this also I think, cause of feb. 19, 09 we will be going digi also. So I don't see why this wouldn't be release in the U.S also then again I could be wrong.

» But then again..

The fact that it only works on the DVB-T network doesn't explain why it only works for the UK. Many countries (all of them?) use DVB-T these days so why is it only for the UK?



Or is it coming to other countries as well?

» Uh oh..

What I meant to say was:



"Many EUROPEAN countries (all of them?) use DVB-T these days so why is it only for the UK?"

» killer app!

If they could bring this to the US and if they can have it run as smoothly as that demo video it would sell a lot of systems, PSP and PS3... There are a lot of "ifs" though!
