QTV Turns PS2 into Streaming Media Center
Here's an interesting bit of news out of the Digital Hollywood Conference in San Jose this week. You can now use a use your PS2 to stream content to your TV. According to TheStandard.com:
QTV by BroadQ uses a $30 piece of software to repurpose a PS2 as a digital media set-top for a TV or home theater. All users have to do is pop the DVD into their PS2, turn it on, and they are ready to either stream local network content or Internet shows like Revision3's Digg Reel without leaving their sofas. With almost 50 million PS2s sold in North America, BroadQ's product already has a significant hardware install base to take advantage of.
QTV is able to stream pretty much any non-DRM content to a TV including photos, videos, and music as well as assorted news and Internet radio stations.
$30 to turn that aging PS2 into a streaming media player? Sounds like a pretty good investment to us!
