Sony has announced "Nasne", a hub that will allow Playstation 3 users to digitally record up to five different TV channels simultaneously with the option of streaming the data to other Sony devices, including the PlayStation Vita.

The hub contains digital terrestrial and satellite television tuners and a 500GB hard disc drive for storing recorded programmes. Nasne is used in conjunction with "Torne", a dedicated PS3 application that supports recording programmes and transferring them to the Vita, Sony tablets and Xperia devices. (The "Torne" application shouldn't be confused with torne peripheral ISDB-T tuner released for the PS3 in 2010.)
