Shipment and item good, note is too brief [Posted on 2007-05-07]
Although the shipment is good and item is intact, the product explaination note is too easy or brief to follow, to me at least.
Maybe Japanese is not good on technical writing to let layman to understand by only one page note.
Sony Does it Again !! [Posted on 2007-05-10]
When I first saw this online, my concern was it might be complicated to use and install. I read all the reviews here and elsewhere, and it has consistently gotten good grades from just about everyone.
Setup was almost a 1-2-3 kind of thing....as easy as the other reviewers said. I didn't require technical support although others have raved about how good the Sony guys were helping with setup, so it's nice to know if you ever do, it's there.
My use for the Base station is having local television on my laptop while traveling ANYWHERE that there is an internet connection, which is pretty awesome. With a lot of traveling ahead, having this little unit will make being on the road much more enjoyable.
I highly recommend the Sony LF-B20. I think you'll like it.
Slingbox is better [Posted on 2007-06-03]
I own both the Sony LocationFree and the Slingbox. The Sony I bought in Japan and the Slingbox in the US. The Slingbox is better for these reasons:
1) The Slingbox is easier to configure.
2) With the Slingbox, same PC can simultaneously run both over the Internet on your LAN. This saves reconfiguration when you use your laptop both in and out of the house.
3) Sony charges for each additional client software license while the Slingbox is free for download. While neither will allow multiple devices to simultaeously stream video, multiple seperate devices can be registered to run per Slingbox where only one device can be registered to run per LocationFree. In the latter case, you must "de-register" your PC before allowing another to connect using the same license.
4) The Slingbox has comprehensive remote control capability even when your away from home where the LocationFree does not.
Never Made it out of the box [Posted on 2007-06-14]
I will keep this short. What sony forgot to tell me was that the only setup process is for pc. I was looking forward to using this with my psp but the fact is that without a pc you will never be able to use this and if you want to watch tv on your mac you will have to buy seperate software. This is no problem for some but for me its useless.
