Well it’s coming for real.
In Japan you soon can watch TV on your PSP.
This mean that it will only take days, weeks or months when we got it as well.

I wonder how it will work. It will probarly be streamed trough internet, which is kinda sad, since the only place I will be able to watch TV in will be my apartment, where I already have a perfect sized TV. :/

“Also, a new service will be released. Its called “Portable TV”. You’ll be able to connect to the Portable TV website on the new web browser, and will be able to download content straight to your PSP’s Memory Stick DUO.”

So… you do not stream it? You’ll have to download it like a regular file? Sad. :/ Streaming would be cooler.

Sucks balls. I think an add-on device that has a TV tuner and AV inputs would be much cooler.

Uh oh when you click on the link at the bottom of the page it says so-net this is a japanese television channel so unless another television channel takes up the tv idea in other countrys you will only be able to what something thats in japanese.

In Canada they have TV coming to cellphones through the cellphone signal. I doubt the PSP can compete with this, because all it can use is WLAN. PSP is only good for downloadable content.

I like the idea of downloading it, but they might just have shitty videos. iM SURE THAT THERE WILL BE HUNDREDS OF SITES THAT WILL (Stupid caps lock!) have this ability up with stuff we all like like southpark, family guy, simpsons, and other good shit. Looks like the firmware desnt release today! I was *sadly* right… :(

Wait, I’m sorry? Days, WEEKS, OR MONTHS!?! WTF?!?! ONLY days, yes. ONLY weeks, maybe. BUT ONLY MONTHS!!?? WTF?!?

That would be cool if could let you geet a local tv channel to watch southpark or simpsons when you want to. But I also have the idea of just downloading, just to get the stuff you want. Or i just could be wrong

big deal if its just a download. i have a dvr on my pc so i already have tv on my psp for free any show on directv can be on my psp i have last weeks family guy on my psp right now. so im sure this will cost you. only people who dont know how to use a pc will like this not for the hardcore we already have tv on our psp.streamed would be better also im not updating my psp to 2.0 i like the homebrew stuff a lot better then some tv shows that i can get for free

it’s not for north america, japan only. korea has had it for a while and the europene PSP will come with V2.0.

we should be getting it soon. Im guess a couple of weeks after the 27th. Im sure they’ll want to see if there are any problems. 2.3 million psps D-loading V2.0 has got to bring up.

Why are so many people saying streaming is better? If you stream, you have to be within the range of your router, unless you have like a portable hub with a wireless card in it(not sure if they make them). And if your within the range of your router, chances are your within the range of your tv. Not really worth it to me. And all the people complaining about how it’s coming out too late, just get a p2p program like limewire or something, you can get tons of episodes of shows there and put them on the psp, WITHOUT the update. In other words, this isn’t really new.

The only good thing streaming would be used for is if someone else is using the tv.

streaming tv would be great in an airport or on a lunch break… whatever… there are wifi hotspts all over the place

Couldn’t anyone come up with a homebrew browser. v2.0 would not be needed then. And let’s start a “Crack 2.0@home” community, where the computers of all of us will help to crack 2.0′S password.

That’s a good idea… It’s open source and has been ported to pocket pc, it shouldn’t be too hard to port to psp. It’s times like these I wish I had paid attention in my C++ class. -_-

Ya I have a computer home entertainment system and i can record anything off my satelite like south park, family guy, the simpsons etc without paying shit then all I have to do is reformat with psp video 9 and put on my psp’s 1 gig memory stick that I got as a gift. I wonder how old raider x is.

this is pointless its just like downloading a file except ure being charged and it takes up half ure mem stick size, if i wanted to do that id download family guy for free, its like friken itunes for the psp, im not gonna sit next to my tv download a show for a half hour get billed $19.99 and watch it on my psp for 17 min, this would ONLY be nice if u could get dish service through ure router and its streamed in real time
