Using Remote Play, it can stream PS4 games from one PS4 console in a home onto a separate TV that the PS TV is connected to.

Sony is planning to include PlayStation Now, its streaming game service, to PS TV to allow users to watch PS3 game titles using the device. Currently, PS Now is on open beta for PS3. No confirmed date yet for inclusion in PS TV.
