Let's see if I understand. The LocationFree box has video inputs like a VCR and whatever you plug into it, be it a DVR, DVD player or whatever then you can get it onto your router and watch your box on a PC with LocationFree software or a PSP. Is that all correct? Can you pause/rewind the video device using your LocationFree player? Are there limits on how many players can connect to the box?

wiki info

The Sony LocationFree Player is an internet-based multifunctional device used to stream live television broadcasts (including from digital cable and satellite), DVDs and DVR content over a home network or the internet. It was first announced by Sony in Q1 2004 and launched early in Q4 2004 alongside a co-branded wireless tablet TV.


The LocationFree base station connects wirelessly to a home network and up to three devices and can stream content through the network to local content provision devices or across the internet to remote devices. A remote user can connect to the internet at a wireless hotspot or any other internet connection anywhere in the world and the content can be streamed to the user.

In addition to live TV broadcasts, the player can stream content stored on the following devices (up to three systems may be connected at any one time):
PlayStation Portable (PSP) - firmwares 2.50 and later
PlayStation 3 (PS3)
Personal computers - PC and Mac
Digital video players/recorders - such as DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD and hard-drive systems

..to the following:
another PSP
another PC or Mac
Televisions - including wireless
Mobile/cellular phones - coming later in 2007
Pocket PCs running Windows Mobile

The software does not allow TV content to be recorded to a hard drive.

A user can also access and control from anywhere in the world any device connected to the unit, and switch between multiple devices. By using the player with a PS3 supporting Linux the user is able to record video direct to the PS3 hard drive.

Do either of you want to make an offer?

Me, probably not, sorry. I can't think of a use for it for me that would justify the money. Good luck, though.
