Ditlew has just released information on his new homebrew project, eTV, an extension of TVSP, a utility which allows you to watch TV on your PSP, originally developed by Andy Fung. eTV features incredibly better quality TV on the PSP, based on the video that Ditlew has provided us, and only requires a computer with a TV tuner card in order to run (although not all TV tuners will be supported when released). Great work on this project, and congratulations on your marriage as well, Ditlew!

Features in eTV server include:
- New C# standalone server.
- Uses a Directshow filter, and can stream at full frame rate.
- Doesn't need to be active program.
- Can be minimized.
- Can be run on a remote desktop..
- Doesn't need the user to be 'logged in'.
- Crops any tv-feed to fit inside PSP's 480x272.

Features in eTV client include:
- Connection chooser.
- Allows non 320x240 (1x1? -> 480x272).
- Feed quality can be changed on the fly.
- Feed formats can be changed on the fly (8 different: 4/3, 16/9, ….).
- Displays channel name, quality and screen format.
- Fluid full rate tv (depending on the feed quality you choose).

Check out YouTube for a video of eTV in action here.
