PSP to Recieve Television Broadcasts?

Posted by Zonk on from the magic-teeh-to-recieve-radio-broadcasts dept.

Gaming Horizons is reporting that Sony is working on an application to be used to recieve television broadcasts on laptops and, more interestingly, the PSP console via an internet connection. From the article: "The software will allow you to complete a task called "place-shifting," which is the ability to access content stored from remote locations through high-speed web links."

    This is like TiVo for people without TiVo... or for people with PCs without vid capture cards.

    You know, if some service were available that allowed me to subscribe to certain shows, and download them on demand, I might consider dropping cable. (This is where somebody replies with "What, you haven't heard of _______?")
