Hi Guys. I've got a Sony PS3 and PLAY TV receiver, that combine to be a pretty cool digital TV setup, but all my other tellys in the house are old analogue dogs. Is there a way to have the Play TV box display whatever shows I want on any of the 3 tellys I want? Streaming or similar way? Also, I had a party last week & couldn't figure out how to stream my music from the PS3 harddrive to all the tellys round the house, to have sweet sounds for the party filtering about. Is there a way to do all this? If it helps, I also have a great router in the centre of everything, a FritzBox 7390. Argh.. too confusing for me..! Any sugg's would be much appreciated. I like the PS3 cos the remote's bluetooth, so it functions brilliantly without line-of-sight issues that traditional remotes have. So I could use the one remote in any room I want.. as far as I understand it..?!
Sony PS3, Play TV, TV/MP3 Streaming etc?

Hmm, well there is the analogue route of cables or video senders - but assuming you don't want these, I guess the best bet is xbmc and tvheadend.
You'd plug the PlayTV box into something running xbmc and tvheadend (say a Raspberry Pi) and convert the TV into streamable data. You then use a media player on the secondary TVs (other RaspPi, WDTV, Android TV sticks,etc.) to access those streams via wifi. That would do the music too. Only issue is I think the renderer needs to be able to deal with HTSP (possibly possible to get round this with some transcoding).
Running something like Yatse on a phone or tablet would then enable you to access and control the xbmc instance, and potentially secondary instances if those were running xbmc too - from anywhere.
Bleeding edge stuff.
i think you can't do what you said without buying some additional hardware.. and it's not optimal either.

this might do the job, although i'm sure the quality would be not that good. I cannot guarantee that this will work with play TV though.
best thing is to have a PC/MAC mediaserver and to have things like a SONOS or Apple Airplay to do the job, although PlayTV would not work. But yes, in reality, the PS3 is very limited in this respect..
