LocationFree is now on my wish list

On my station's CBS channel tonight that network ran a really good tech news package about changes in television - notably watching TV over cell phones and via Sony's LocationFree, which I loved this morning. Guam's bandwidth still blows goats at the moment, so I doubt the latter would be a worthwhile investment, leading to throttling and compromised quality.

I'm sure the requisite pipe demands needed to run one of these $1,499 LF-X11 babies for decent viewing quality is realistically at least 3.5 Mbps. And that's dedicated bandwidth, doing nothing else, at non-peaktime. I've currently got 3.2 Mbps that scales back at night.

I'd get a LocationFree for my home viewing, and a SlingBox to keep tabs on my local news while traveling. Right tool for the right job, ya know?

Being a Sony product, it also works with the PSP (versions 2.50 or later). That kicks ass. Just one more reason I've got to get a PSP over a video iPod. Chalk this up on my list of gadgetry I'd have to get when I move to the mainland. Shoot, at least this stuff would work out here.
