*The version of PlayTV software on the disc (1.0) cannot be updated until it has been successfully installed. This includes scanning for and finding channels. Thus people in regional areas might not be able to update the PlayTV software to 1.21 (which allows UHF scanning for Australia). This can be resolve by using the Australian install disc or alternatively, take the PS3 somewhere that receives VHF transmissions to complete the install and update the software.
