Turn your PS3 into a PVR

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Your Playstation 3 is not only a powerful next-generation gaming console, it can also perform the same functions as a PVR. That's right! With the game consoles ability to operate with Linux you can now turn your Sony PS3 into a multimedia powerhouse.

To get started you simply need a couple patches which are available online for free, the latest revised video driver and a Plextor ConvertX TV402U USB tuner.

With Myth TV's open source software you can channel signals to your PS3 via the USB tuner. This enables you to stream media through a Myth enabled computer network or even watch and record live television programs.

Another great thing about the PS3 is the open architecture and ability to upgrade your consoles hard drive which allows you plenty of room for storage.
