PlayStation TV

I got it for one reason and one reason only: to play PS4 games live on the internet My PS4 is in a location where there is no wired ethernet connection, and getting one there is extremely difficult. As a result, I rely on the internet. Please keep in mind: br>br> If you don't have access to a hard-wired ethernet cable, you'll need a strong wifi signal. It's possible, though. br>br>This was my first try (using my existing 2. 802. 4 GHz 11 Wi-Fi) was a difficult game to play. Because I live in close proximity to apartments, the second option is available to me. The signal on the 4 GHz band was extremely congested. I recently acquired a brand-new super-powerful weapon. I bought a cheap wiki access point to dedicate to the PS4 and placed it as close to the console as I could. That helped a lot, but there were still some issues, so I ended up buying a much more capable wifi system (which I needed anyway) and an 802. 11ac router. To connect to the PS4, use an 11AC (5GHz) access point. (How come the PS4 doesn't have a 5GHz processor? )

This got rid of my neighbors signals, and things now work much better, but there are still occasional issues.

Also note, when% The image quality is a little low, and I believe you can only get stereo sound, not surround.

If you want to play PS Vita games but don't want to deal with another mobile device, this is a pretty good workaround, and the price is hard to beat. The upscaling looks pretty good on a 1080p television screen, though there is some blurriness (as expected). It appears that 1080i is the maximum resolution it can produce. If you believe it will look better on your monitor, you can try 720p. Regrettably, the audio output appears to be stereo (2. ). Only 1ch) is available, which is understandable given that the games were designed to be played on a handheld device. br>br>There are two disadvantages: It can't play all PS Vita games (some appear to be incompatible), and you'll have to buy yet another proprietary memory card (PS Vita memory card format) to store your data. After years of paying top dollar for Memory Stick Pro Duo cards for the PSP, another new format appears to be nothing more than a cash grab. Thankfully, the price of PS Vita memory cards has dropped, but more internal storage on the device would have been welcome.

Large corporations baffle me at times. Sony designed the PS Vita to be a successor to the great PSP and to compete with Nintendo in the portable console market, but they decided to let it drown and die by pushing an expensive storage media and failing to take advantage of the PS Vita's numerous hardware features. The PS TV, which is essentially a Vita without the screen and touchpad, is the next step. I bought it to be able to play my PS4 from my bedroom TV via remote, and I have to say that it does an excellent job in that regard. Most online documentation suggests using an Ethernet wired connection, but I use it wirelessly with a decent router and never have any problems with dropped connections. br>br>The issue with the PS TV, in my opinion, is that everything else it does is half-baked. assed. In its limited availability (not because peripherals do not need to be included, unlike the Vita; play with the PS4 controller because it has a touch pad), it does support streaming services and offers some titles from it - but not all. br>br>If I were to launch a game streaming service, I would do everything I could to ensure that my customers could use it for as many different purposes as possible. I would have included apps for Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, and pretty much any other streaming service I could think of. Instead, because my bedroom television isn't smart, I bought a Roku stick, which I had to make work with an HDMI to VGA adaptor, a small audio plug, and a couple of USB-powered wall plugs because I didn't have enough HDMI ports. All of this is due to the PS TV's inability to handle streaming services (as I previously stated, the hardware can handle it, but you must crack it). br>br>If all you want your PS TV to do is stream your PS4 to another TV, then go ahead and buy one. If you're close enough to the PS TV, you can either stream directly to it or use your Wifi router; both methods are reliable, and if you go with Ethernet, you're good to go. If you want to use the PS TV as a one-stop multimedia compact center, however, you'll have to do a lot of cracking and jailbreaking because you'll only be able to watch Crackle and Crunchyroll out of the box. It shouldn't be difficult to have fun with your video game system.
