'Play TV' adds HD support in Europe

Play TV has been updated to support high definition.

Version 1.21 will support DVB-T broadcasts, allowing the device to play, pause and record high definition television through the PS3.

Countries in Europe that broadcast in high-definition can use the feature from today.

The update also includes improved standard definition upscaling, providing a clearer picture on HD sets.

Those with the PS3 firmware 3.0 update can now use Aino-supported Sony Ericsson phones as a remote controller.

Play TV was launched last year, allowing users to play and record Freeview through their PS3.
