No Expensive New Box
Qtv is a software-only solution that leverages your existing PC, broadband connection and the PS2 that is already connected to your TV. All you need is a Qtv PS2 disc to expand the functionality of your PS2 and give access to both personal and online entertainment.
If you haven’t connected your PS2 to a home network, you can still use Qtv by connecting your USB drive or portable media player to one of the USB ports of your PS2 and access your music, photos and video from your TV.
