PS3 as TV converter?

by csiagerard - 1/28/09 11:06 AM

Anyone know if I could route my antenna thru my PS3? They're going to have DVR capability soon according to their tech support but I'm concerned about losing my signal that I get thru my antenna.
(yes, I'm one of those that is unloading my dish due to costs)

Thanks in advance

The PS3 doesn't have a tuner card inside of it and cannot be used as a converter.

Thanks. Also noted that the PS3 doesn't even have an imput port. Sheesh.

this is sooo possible with PlayTV this connects up to you PS3 with USB and can act a a PVR for free to view TV. this addition is a TV tuner card. I dont know however if it is availabe in anywhere other than the UK but it is deffo being done.
