After announcing last month that it was stripping some functionality from its PS3 PlayTV device it appears that Sony has changed its mind and added back the ability to transfer recorded shows, DRM-free, from the PlayStation 3 to the PSP handheld as well as any other device that can playback MPEG-4 or 2.
This new revelation comes from a review of the device by CVG, and the review says "Any recorded footage is slapped in a Library menu, automatically tagged with the programme name and description. Hit X on it and PlayTV runs the recording. Again, nice and simple.
Or, brilliantly, you can export videos to your PS3's XMB menu as MPEG-2 video (despite rumours suggesting the feature had been removed). From there you can use it like a normal file - watch it on your PS3, put it on PC, transfer it to your PSP... whatever you like.
You can access PlayTV from your PSP via Remote Play, too, allowing you to watch live TV or stored videos through your portable."
