It looks like Sony really wants you to be able to watch television wherever you are. Sony will soon be releasing two new "base stations" that will hook up to televisions, PVRs, and video cameras in order to stream content across the net.The streamed content can then be picked up on PCs and Sony PSPs whenever a broadband connection is available. The "base stations" can also be used to deliver video throughout your home.
Sony has not included software to make LocationFree Mac compatible but have instead licensed IO Data to make a Mac software package. There is also a possibility of support for streaming to cell phones to come in future.
There are two models of the "base stations", the LF-B10 and LF-B20. The B20 is the higher end model which differs in its ability to connect directly to a home wireless network and will sell for $249.99. The LF-B10 will retail at $199.99.
On top of the two "base stations" Sony will be releasing the LocationFree TV Box. This device enables video to be streamed from television to television and will cost $229.99. A "base station" is required for it to function.
The latest LocationFree hardware is expected to be released in October.
