Sony will be deploying Location Free products for Europe in the spring of 2006. The product will not only retain the same functionalities with the Japanese and American version, but also will implement the service facing mobile phones.

– What is Location Free

In a short description, you can convert the video you received into compressed data , and broadcast it via WiFi using the base station. Users can then receive the broadcasted data in the bound of WiFi and play it on your terminal device. If you are not home, you can access the data via internet, and playback in any location that has an internet connection (that's why it is named "Location Free" - enjoy your TV program anywhere, either indoor or outdoor). Remote control is also possible.

It is possible to watch TV on PSP in the middle of the dessert while I'm not at home in America. So this will allow the Satellite to communicate here from there! Hope it work or maybe not, lol!

no, im afraid location free is about 300 USD. It's also only usable when your psp can use an internet conection. Also you need to have the ability your IP routablr to the location free.

In any location that has a "WIRELESS" internet connection
