I treated myself to playTV a few weeks ago. It’s an excellent piece of hardware for the PS3. Plug your aerial into it, plug it into your PS3, install some software and voila. Pause, rewind and record Freeview onto your PS3 HDD. I wouldn’t bother getting a PS3 and playTV just for this functionality, but if you already have a PS3 it’s well worth it. The picture quality is vastly improved from the built in Freeview tuner in my Samsung TV. I assume this is because the PS3 upscales the picture, but I can’t find anywhere on the internet that confirms this. Visit the wiki entry for playTV to get the lowdown on its full capabilities.

I went to Birmingham last week to investigate the German market and get some Christmas presents. It was so successful that I ended up buying myself an early Christmas present, a compact digital camera. The camera in question is the FujiFilm FinePix J15fd. It was pretty cheap from Boots and it’s very small and neat. Probably not the best compact around, but I like it. I need to organise myself a Flickr account and integrate it with this ‘ere website at some point, then I can demonstrate my lack of photography skills to a wider audience.
