Mel:
Does anyone have opinion regarding the Playstation TV for PS VITA/PSP games on their TV?
TDIRunner:
I have been considering one ever since I first heard about it.  I haven't used one yet, but the most common complaint I hear about is game compatibility.  Since you have to use a PS3 or PS4 controller to play the games, any game that requires the touch pads may not work.  I've read that some games incorporate the L3 and R3 buttons for the touch screen.  In other words, as you hold down the L3 or R3 buttons and move the sticks around, that acts as your finger touching the screen.  However, for games that require quick touch pad actions, the L3 and R3 buttons probably won't be quick enough. 

At the end of the day, there just aren't enough games on the Vita (PS TV compatible or not) that I'm interested in enough for me to buy one.

I haven't used any of the streaming functions yet, so can't comment on those.  Compatibility in my opinion is awful for vita games.  First 4 or 5 games I tried were incompatible, including lumines which is supposed to work.  Once you do get one to work, it does play very well, I've synched a PS3 pad to use with mine, and it's very responsive, and nicer than using vita controls.

I don't understand why they don't patch the games to remove touch screen gimmicky controls and allow them to work on it.  If compatibility was better I would be singing its praises, but as it stands it's pretty much useless.

It's the worst Playstation Product I ever purchased! I plugged it in, tried it once and put it away. Garbage!

Why you ask?

Most PS Vita games don't work on it. If you purchased digital content, it will let you use it on either the PS Vita or PS TV but not both. No netflix. It's only a quarter HD. The streaming funtions is only ok as there's a drop in quality. It's just worthless.
