<p>You may remember PlayTV, the external device released some time ago for the PlayStation 3 console which allowed you to watch, pause and record live freeview television shows. Whilst it’s widely accepted that the vast majority of television sets come with built-in freeview now, there are still many users which rely on the device to watch their favorite shows.</p>
<p>However, a number of Eurogamer readers are reporting that a recent update has rendered the device unusable and even worse causes a manual reboot of the actual console in order to make the PS3 work.</p>
<p>No fix has been issued as of yet due to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe currently “investigating” the situation.</p>
