Ditlew’s Top Secret New Project – eTV!

Feast your eyes on this! Here’s Ditlew‘s next project named ‘eTV‘. eTV allows you to watch TV channels from your PSP, building on the successes of TVSP. After a few words with the developer of TVSP, Andy Fung who hasn’t had the time to update it, Ditlew decided to update it himself. Just as with TVSP,the only hardware requirements for eTV is a video card, meaning you can avoid the expense of upgrading your PSP’s firmware and buying a Locationfree device!

All you have to do is take a look at the screenshots or the video to see the quality of this work-in-progress homebrew application. Both screenshots are from Ditlew’s video and show off the amazing quality of eTV.

View a full list of the differences between eTV and TVSP along with a video of eTV in action after the Jump!
