Sony will begin selling from October a network base-station that can stream live television and other video content through a home network or across the Internet to remote PCs.

The Location Free Base Station is an extension of the company's Location Free TV system, which until now has required the use of dedicated portable displays. The new system will work with normal PCs.

The LF-PK1 unit can stream video to PCs both inside and outside of the home, or wherever it is located. Local clients connect via either a wired link or wirelessly through the unit's built-in wireless LAN access point. From outside the home, access is possible as long as the device is connected to a broadband Internet link.

"Wherever you go on earth you can watch your own content," says Satoru Maeda, head of the Sony division that produced the device, at a Tokyo news conference. While video recorders can be used to time-shift programs, the Location Free Base Station can be used to "place-shift" your entertainment, he says.
