That does suck.

Maybe they should map it to the motion in the controllers. Shake it up for volume up and vice versa, ha.

Just found the volume control. Its not mapped to the control pad, or the remote. You have to go into: Settings > Audio and then change the volume.

Kinda disappointing really, was hoping for it being mapped to a button.

Yeah, I have the offical Blu-Ray remote. Tried all of the buttons and looked on the PlayTv manuals too. Nothing says volume control. Shame that – Me using an ancient amp with no remote control means I have to keep getting up to adjust the volume.

I doubt it needs buffering, the PS3 is pretty powerful I’m sure it can handle upscaling. But I can’t say for sure as I haven’t had chance to check yet.

i wonder. how well does it work? do you have to wait for it to buffer or any thing like that or does it just play like regular satalite or cable? do you have to watch what is on now or do you download shows like netflix?

Do you have the blu-ray remote? I’m not sure which buttons it is you use sorry, just try a few until you find it!

I’m in the UK, our broadband is one of the worst, the average is around 1-2mb connection.

I don’t think it is to do with broadband as such just the fact the US doesn’t have a national digital TV service yet, although I hear that changes as of June this year?

i think it has to do with the fact that high speed internet isn’t as strong here as it needs to be. not to mention there are a few different providers for for broad casting so, getting a foot hold could be tough….. :( i love my ps3 and if it did every thing for me that would be awesome! now if it could only cook…..

Just downloaded it, but if Im honest I cant see too much difference between the upscaled TV and the old version.

Wish they would say how to use the volume control. Its not in the manual. Any ideas?

Glad to see they keep adding new features though. Cant wait for Freeview signals to be changed to HD!

I’m sure it will soon. It just needs America to get a unified digital TV service.
