My cousin had a Sony Anywhere Tv set up a few years back....( he has the best of the best stuff) He let me use while i was painting his house to watch the hockey game ( playoffs) so i didnt miss anything. I thought it was the coolest concept ever, but he says now , they stopped making them.
Question: Can you buy this thing or something similar anymore? I have been googling it, with not too much luck.

you mean locationfree tv I think?

it's basically a slingbox

I have 2 of them (as well as a hava)

Slingbox is a good idea or try googling video extender or wireless video for other options.

Im not sure the exact name of it, it was Sony and i was carrying around this 14 inch tv screen. I think it even had a handle and was white. It was all touch screen and i could even change the channels of the satellite or go on the internet by touching the screen. It had to have been atleast 6 years ago when i saw it.

Could it be the Sony LocationFree TV?

yup, there's several locationfree units

As i mentioned, I have 2

1 is basically a slingbox, the other is a unit that has a 7inch wireless tablet associated with it

I just emailed him the link provided to see if that's it. The reviews weren't that great. What would be the other options? And whats the average start-up price to get going. I have express vu satellite i want to hook into. I guess the kicker is , you have to have wifi as well as get the password to the wifi wherever you are, correct?

 

[Tikker]

well yeah

you can spend from 50 bucks, up to a couple hundred depending on what you need


locationfree player can be accessed from a PSP, and it's a pretty nice experience that way (or any pc running the included software)

or you can buy one of the units that comes with a screen itself, but expect to pay more for that

I think i am ready to purchase something like this. It has been a while since i started this thread, so im wondering if there is any new products out similar to this or what is the best one to buy? Thanks

Not much change in the last 9 months, Slingbox still the best option.
