Are there any alternatives to the Sony LocationFree Player?
Question by dawpa2000: Are there any alternatives to the Sony LocationFree Player?
I have a Sony LocationFree Player LF-B10 (new, unopened so far). I'm currently worried about the multiple, limited licensing fees with this device. Are there any other software alternative players to view the streamed content for this LF-B10 (maybe open-source software)?
Also, are there any hardware alternatives to the Sony LocationFree Player for Internet / Network TV streaming? I've heard of Slingbox. Anyone have more information?

You can always just use VLC Media Player, it doubles as a streaming server, you could set it up on a separate PC that you can leave on all the time, put it on your home network, then you can access files from anywhere.
Also, you could get a mediagate, it's a network drive that is also a media player, plugs straight into your tv.
It all depends on your needs really.
