A producer at Sony's Cambridge studio has suggested that the team is working on a new version of the PlayTV digital TV tuner for PS3.

"We're still working on Play TV, Play TV 2," Mark Green said when asked what the studio was currently working on by Spong. His comment is buried in an interview about LittleBigPlanet PSP.
