Connecting PS3 to android wireless hotspot for lovefilm and you tube? a few questions

khampson

Hi I was wanting a media player to stream lovefilm and you tube content on my tv and my friend is offering a ps3 quite cheap, I don't have any broadband connection and the only internet connection I have is on my android phone via wireless hotspot, I am on the one plan and get full signal at my home, however my connection speed on the 3g network changes from 0.5mb to 8mb depending on time of day ect. is this possible to connect and use my phone ok?

How does the lovefilm and you tube work on the ps3, does it work like it does on my mobile phone where you select the video to play and if you pause it the video will carry on downloading or buffering? just thinking if my phone was suitable but the connection speed was slightly to slow for the content, where I could pause it to get in front and play it without any breaks or skipping in playing?

I don't have a ps3 but do the same on my xbox and hotspot using a One S on Three.

No problems using any of the streaming services with a mobile connection.

Do you need a good account to view lovefilm on xbox?

Yes you need a gold account, the only streaming service you don't need a gold account for is iplayer.
