Sony Corp. will begin testing an Internet-based pay-television service in the U.S. this year, bringing live and on-demand programming to TVs and its PlayStation game consoles.
The product will make it easy for consumers to switch between live and Web-based programs, Andrew House, chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, said yesterday at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Tokyo-based company will also test a video-game streaming service for the PlayStation, smartphones and TVs.
