I've seen some ps3's with the TV icon (featuring iplayer icon) in the xmb. But even after installing update 3.01, i myslef, still don't have it, anyone could explain why?

Most common reason is that you have bought an EU unit in the UK or have been given a re-manufactured European unit by Sony.

Until they remove this block, like me you will have to settle for accessing it through the internet browser, the iplayer icon on the xmb is only a bookmark anyway.

ah, thx

The icon is the PlayTV. It's a UBS TV tuner addon you need to buy then the software that comes with it adds that icon.

No it isn't, it also appears if the BBC iPlayer installs on your PS3.

So if I install BBC iplayer I will have 2 TV icons?

you can't 'install' iPlayer - either your PS3 has it (if it is a 'real' UK model), or it doesn't (if you bought it outside UK, were supplied with a non-UK one, or [typically] if you sent yours off to Sony for a refurb)

HTH

PS - there is a big thread about this issue in the technical help section if you want more detail
