Sony have let their once amazing Play TV UK Freeview Hardware / Software turn to ******!! -
http://community.eu.playstation.com...p/Play-TV-Auto-Off-crashing-PS3/td-p/16858898
So I'm now looking at the possibilities of alternatives.
Youview/Humax - looks like its slow and buggy as per other unreliable boxes.
Mac mini with hdmi out.... Hmm I could get a second hand Mac mini for a couple hundred £'s and just use it as a PVR.
Qs- Is it possible to receive, watch, pause and record Freeview HD on the mini? What's needed? Twin tuners?
When watching freeview / other videos via hdmi, is it the same as watching via a dedicated PVR/ PS3 or is there settings that will do this? I've watched before via my mbp17" mdp-hdmi and it does look a bit different...
