Originally designed as a way to wirelessly watch TV around the house, Sony’s LocationFree system was upgraded last year with software that taps into your home TV from a laptop. The resulting second-generation Sony package is nearly identical in terms of features to that of the Slingbox, but LocationFree offers at least two new twists. Like the Slingbox, you set up the LocationFree system by connecting Sony’s Base Station to your cable/satellite feed and attach an IR blaster (if necessary) to change channels. Unlike any of the others reviewed, Sony includes built-in Wi-Fi support (802.11a/b/g) to make the Internet connection, which is a very handy feature.
