overview

THE GOOD
Streams live TV to any PC or PSP with broadband access; built-in wireless; works with any video source, including DVRs and TiVos; relatively simple setup.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Sony LF-PK1 LocationFree Player Pak isn't quite on a par with the Slingbox, but it is the only device that streams video to your PSP--and it's getting better with each firmware upgrade.
