Sony LF-V30 LocationFree Video Streamer , get your entertainment with youSource

The idea for this new gadget from Sony is that you can watch your TV or DVR from anywhere with an Internet connection using the LocationFree Base Station. So wherever you go, your entertainment will follow.

Ever since they introduced us to the LF-V30 LocationFree Base Station last summer, we were wondering if this place-shifting Slingbox precursor could deliver the goods. From reviews we found out that the image quality from its new HD-source-handling component inputs is”excellent” even though it’s downscaled to a puny 320×240 pixels. Also a feature retained from the previous Sony LocationFree LF-B20 was discovered:Wi-Fi connectivity and ability to act as a wireless access point.

Even though Sony is charging $30 for the necessary PC viewing software, the Maximum PC verdict is still respectable, giving the LF-V30 a 7 out of 10.
