Reviews:

starsLove it:)
great device, works great with PSP and PC. i read reviews that installation was a little more than expected. i found the installation to be a breeze, very easy. lol, i failed to use the ir (infrared) blaster. therefore, my remote was not working, DUU. basically, the ir blaster is a little device that plugs into the base station and sends the single out to cable or sat box like your remote would. place the end with the ir tip near your cable or sat box.

i am very pleased. hope you enjoy yours as much.





starsWorks great on PSP and Mac
Like one of the other reviewers, I too had to get help from the Sony folks, but they were great. It is quiet complicated to get it up and running, especially since I was using a Mac, not a PC. You have to buy the Mac software from igsshop.com as a download.

PSP - The picture is great. There is a slight delay when you use the remote but that is expected since you are controlling it over the internet. I love being able to get Laker games in any of the cities I travel to. Since I have it hooked up to a DVR, I can watch "my programs" instead of CNN for hours in an overseas hotel.

Mac - As long as you don't stretch the image to full screen size, the picture is quite good. I had read that the interface for the Mac wasn't ideal, but I don't see any problems.

Possible Cons - I have yet to get the PSP Component A/V output cables to work on a TV. I am only getting sound, but I have an e-mail into Sony to see if there is a simple fix.
I have read where people complain that there isn't a HDMI input. It is a copyright protection issue with HDMI, component does have the same issues.

Overall- I highly recommend this to anyone who travels a lot and spends too much time in hotels stuck with one or two channels that speak English.


starsVery happy so far
The unit seems to work like described. It is the only station that of LocationFree I know of that one I take cables component and even if I could equip something in on on a previous model, is pleasant hardly it of right. The putting to point was not easy as I had hoped for, but to really they advise you to call the support of the SONY attendance, that I appreciate. Therefore it is not taken care, to call the em high and they will obtain them with it. I use the device with my PSP and is enough impressive. The video quality is downright excellent. They have been shaken towards the outside like has worked. "the remote control" on the PSP and mimicks of the customers of the PC the real resumption external who you do not have hardly in the functionality, but in the look pure. Therefore you can jump to right within and to think immediately comfortable controlling the TV at a distance, a lot has been made an impression. The ONLY difficult part with the putting to point was obtaining mine router has left marks them through, even if that one was not much difficult (SONY helps could walk anyone with this EASY)... after that one, the regulations and the options with the unit are easy to approach and for the greater part, all it is simplified automatic rifle and. You can connect easy directly to the box it via WiFi with the PSP or a calculating and control the regulations (a lot not to control) but if they are in an other room, to times I will connect hardly dirctly with my PSP and I will watch the TV. Of new, the quality of picture/sound is excellent and supplying it has them a connection decent, I do not see to be all editions here real. I have bought a video/audio towards the external cable for my PSP and I insert it hotel/friends TV when they are from the city and I can literally watch my TV from the center, on an other TV wherever that I go easy. Highly I suggest this unit, works while it is supposed in order to make and because it has PSP functionality, is much more important than one slingbox. Moreover, if been buying this and you do not possess a PSP - ignorigli the game functions "" the PSP, for $169,00 that the PSP sells for, is worthy it is weight in dispositive gold like hardly simple of film observation.


starsAwesome
Quick and Easy to set up on both laptop and PSP. Video display is pretty good. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because they need to lower the cost of the CD to add more clients. Also they need to include more cables for other devices.
