Currently the feature is only known to work on the PlayStation 3 with a mobile device on the same local network, once the two apps are running you can browse as normal on your phone or tablet and when you go to play a movie or TV show it asks you to choose where it will play. While the video is playing you can stop, pause or seek through it to a certain point, change the audio or subtitles, choose a different episode or even browse for something entirely different without stopping the action. The YouTube app on PS3 works in a similar fashion (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/youtube-playstation-3/) after its most recent update. We've got a few screens of the mobile apps at work in the gallery, check after the break for a quick video of it working.
