How can you record HD TV on your PS3 console?

Answer 1

You currently can't.

However, Sony have announced that they'll be releasing Playtv by the end of 2008. This will enable you to record digital channels, and hopefully High Definition ones as well.

Answer 2

First, you must have an HDTV. Thus I would start by asking what make and model set you have. If you are certain that you have an HDTV then there are a variety of ways to view an HD picture: subscribe to the HD package via your cable/satellite provider, receive over the air HD programming on select shows from your local stations, watch movies via either a Blu-ray disc player or an UPCONVERTING DVD player, and finally Xbox 360 and PS3 video gaming is all HD.

Answer 3

No, you need a signal to record on your DVR and the PS3 plugs into the TV or HDTV and not the Cable DVR. If your cable DVR is like mine it only has outputs for the signal and no inputs except the cable.

Answer 4

How you connect your PS3 to an HDTV depends on if you want to transmit to it in HD or not. To connect without HD simply connect the standard output cables form your PS3 to the TV and set the input of the TV to SD input. To transmit in HD first power down your PS3 and plug in an HDMI cable from your PS3 to the HDTV. Set the TV's input to HDMI and then power up your PS3. You will be prompted to use HDMI, select yes and then confirm.

Answer 5

All PS3's come with an HDMI output.
