PSP Slim officially gets TV Tuner

[CaptainMorgan4]

Yeah this new one better get hacked or they better help us and make this TV tuner compatable with our systems.

[Safari Al]

That would be the best thing ever! Th old psp should have tv out!!!!!

so current PSP owners are out of luck.[/I]

**** sony, glad i got my psp for free (1000 peices in a box, works perfect not a scratch on the casing heh)

It probably has to do with the 64mb ram the new system has- how else would it be possible to stop old PSPs from running it?

[dark heart]

looks awesome, but yer, they'd have to be a bunch of jerks if it would require the new psp slim

maybe the anorexic can also run things from usb, wich makes this not compitable with our healthy ones.

Damn, sony can just go **** them selves

Well I'll be picking up a PSP Slim on it's launch date. I just hope it will be hacked quick. :rofl: As for Sony screwing over the older Phat PSP I think it’s just another way for them to try to convert PSP Homebrewers over to the new console. Because it will have all this stuff that just happens to be incompatible with the older Phat PSPs. But we will see how their console holds out. I’m willing to bet that it will be hacked and running Custom Firmware and Homebrew within its first month of release!

if it has a digital reciever i am sold! that will be beyond awesome

dunno/care about the us but free to air digital channels in the uk are brilliant.

me too i'll be sold on it too
plus if we are able to record tv onto the psp that would be cool :thumbup:

That would be awesome! However, you would need a lot more than 8 Gigs. a 1-hour HD program is around 7-9 GB, with a 40-minute show coming in around 4 GB. Granted, often the actual show you are watching is about half that size, but stations transmit multiple subchannels on their HDTV over the air channels, so the PSP-DVR would need a setting to only capture the subchannel you actually want to capture.

i took my dvd 1hour anime compressed it to 350mb
sony would make a way for us to record under less quality

DVD and HDTV are totally different things. It probably took you a bit of time to compress the DVD to 350 MB anyway, maybe as long as an hour on a slower PC. I don't think a device like the PSP would be able to take a 7-9 GB HDTV over the air signal and compress it on the fly for recording onto the PSP's memory stick... it is just not possible... it takes my fairly fast PC about 2 hours or so to convert and compress a 30-minute (3.5 GB) HDTV transport stream to a 233 MB DiVX file.
