With Sony keeping much of the PlayStation 5's innerworkings under wraps until their official reveal event, occasionally new info gets released from unlikely sources. According to TheGamePost, a recently published patent for the PS5 hints to some interesting innovations on pre-established features on older PlayStation consoles.

Among the design patents filed today are a quick look at the PlayStation 5 UI which at first glance isn't too far off from the current one in use on the PlayStation 4. Folders themselves appear to be dropdown menus that expand into the list of services or games without needing to go into a second menu window. The inclusion of both Cable TV and Over-the-air TV channels is a strange addition, given that Sony discontinued the PlayStation Vue service in January of this year. One NeoGAF user was able to connect an antenna to their PlayStation 4 via an HDHomeRun box, so perhaps this isn't such a far fetched idea to try out.
