Sony’s launches ‘TV anywhere’ product

Hot on the heels of the launch of the Slingbox from Slingmedia comes Sony’s version of ‘TV anywhere’, LocationFree. Like Slingbox, this device sits hooked up to your both your set-top box and DVD recorder and allows you to access live TV or recorded material from around the world. LocationfreeIt does so by transmitting the content via in-built WiFi to your broadband connection.

All you have to do is have the relevant software on your laptop before jetting off and access to your hotel’s broadband. The TV/video signal is sent to your laptop and will playback smoothly , albeit at a variable bitrate depending on the quality of the broadband being used. Still, that’s a whole better than crappy old ‘buffering’. Unlike the Slingbox, however, it has no internal Freeview tuner and costs almost twice as much at £350. Sony stores will get them first next week while a wider rollout to other retail outlets is expected later in the summer.
