Location Free TV by Sony

I didn't know what category to put this so I ask you here:
I have a Location Free TV Base Station set up in Tokyo, and would like to be able see the shows here in the US. I looked for the software to install on the Mac, but I can't find anything about it except for some old software which no longer seems to be on sale any more.
Does anyone know what happened, or do I have to walk into a Sony Store?
Thanks

I contacted sony about this today. They are clueless. Even though they claim to be Mac compatible, they said that Mac is "not officially supported" and the link to IO data (the software supplier) goes to a dead server.
Guess I'll be looking at a Slingbox.

  • Location Free Vs Apple TV - A product for Mac?

    Hi,
    Can someone eexplain to me what Location Free is? - Apparently it's a sony product, and I am wondering if there is a comparable product for Macs.

    Sling TV is the closest match. Basically, Sony's location TV allows you to hook up two video sources to the access point (the location free is a wired/wireless access point) and broadcasts the video over the internet. Within your intranet (you wireless inside your home) you get full speed access, but if you try to access outside of your home (on some other wireless hotspot) you are limited by the upload speed of your internet provider.
    Also, location free comes with only 1 license. If you have multiple laptops you have to buy additional licenses. The exception to this is if you own a psp, you can register as many psps as you want. A limitation of the system is that only one device can use it at a time. There is a mac client for Location Free, but you have to buy the software, it does't come with it.
    By the way, it is a bit$$ to set up. I set one up for a friend a couple of weeks ago.

  • Location Free Player & W7 software?

    I have the latest software according to my software update. However when I open location free it says I need to activate it. I have used this before on my laptop but haven't used it for a long time. When I press activate it says it does not have internet connection. Everything is hooked up right and it should have internet. I tried opening explorer and pressing activate thinking maybe it would see it. It still did not work. How can I get this working again. I am trying to play it on my PC.

It's not listed in Home-->Applications nor I can find it on Opera TV Store, Please help me in locating the Internet Browser. Does this TV come with an Internet Browser? I have been searching all over the net for a solution for several hours but am unable to find it. I am on a wireless connection with good speeds. Able to access all default internet contents that came with the TV (Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, Crackle, VUDU, Opera TV Store). Please help..

    Hello chowpotluri,
    Welcome to SONY Community! 
    The TV does not have a pre-installed web browser app. However, you can check the Opera TV store to view the latest applications available. The Opera TV Store is always being updated.

  • Locating Free TV shows

    I see that CW and Fox offer some of their shows online in the itunes store free for 1 week after airing. How can I quickly find these shows. I have found many of the popular shows, but they have a charge associated with them. I just want to download free content to view and I would like an easy way to locate. Thanks for your help.

    Click on the TV shows link in the upper left corner of the main store window. Once on the TV page, at the bottom of that page is box with all the free TV content.

  • Sony Viao inbuilt webcam not working after Windows 10 update

    Hi thereJust updated to Windows 10 and now my inbuilt webcam is not working. Skype can't even recognise it.Under device manager it says there is a USB device with an error, but it doesn't say what it is. Disabling, uninstalling and restarting, and updating drivers do not work.I had windows 8 and 8.1 prior to this and the webcam worked fine. Please helpThanks in advanceMark

     
    Hi mtaylor748, 
    Thank you for considering Sony Community! 
    Most probably the issue is with the Windows 10 driver since you mentioned the unit works with Windows 8 and 8.1. Unfortunately, we do not have the updated drivers for Windows 10 yet. Sony is still validating the updates from certain vendors and testing Vaio computers. You may check the announcement from Sony USA: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/os10upgrade.pl? I'm note quite sure about the process in other country but feel free to contact Sony support in your location. 
    For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
    Hope this helps. 
    Best regards,
    Vincent

  • Please help. I have the Sony RCD-W500C Cd Recorder.

    Hi I have the Sony RCD-W500C Cd Recorder. Under the "specifications tab" located here:
    http://store.sony.com/p/RCD-W500C/en/p/RCDW500C#specifications
    I would like to know if the "Hybrid Pulse D/A converter" that is in this CD Recorder also converts the analog signal to digital ?
    Another words is the Hybrid Pulse D/A converter also a A/D converter ?
    Also, what Sony CD recorder model has the best 24 bit D/A A/D coverter ?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, the "Hybrid Pulse D/A converter" that is in this CD Recorder also converts the analog signal to digital.
    Yes, the Hybrid Pulse D/A converter is also A/D converter. They are converter of signal for A/D or D/A.
    RCDW2000ES CD/CDR recorder has 24 bit D/A A/D converter but its no longer available. It has the lower distortion level which is .01% compared to the other model that has .05%.
    Actually, Sony no longer manufactures CD/CDR recorder/player.

  • Having a problem downloading a pdf file onto sony reader.

    Process:
    I have the Reader connected to the computer.
    I have downloaded the books form Waterstones which went into Adobe Digital Editions.  There hasn't been a problem here.
    I have opened the eBook Library, went to file, import files, my documents, Adobe Digital Editions and clicked on the book I want to put on the Reader.  The book uploads into the eBook Library.  I then Drag and drop the book on the Reader link on the left hand column.  The status rotates as if the book is being transferred however I then have an error message reading:
    'To transfer this ebook, you must first authorize the reader for Adobe DRM protected content.  Do you want to authorize the reader now?'
    I click yes.
    I type in my Adobe Id and password as I am asked to do and click yes.
    Another error occurs reading:
    'Failed to authorize this PC to the eBook store.'
    I can only click yes here which leaves me where I started.
    If I go onto the Sony eBook store it doesn't show me the 'Register' link at the top of the page.
    I had 7 ebooks on the reader since July so it was all working perfectly until 5/09/09 when i bought another 2 from Waterstones.  When I tried to put them on it deleted the first 7.  When I had the 2 new books on, the old 7 deleted and when I had the first 7 on the Reader it didn't allow me the 2 newer books I bought on 5/09/09.  Now I can't get any of the books to transfer onto the Reader.
    My sister is also experiencing the exact same problem as I am having.  However when she downloads a free book from Sony, it transfers no problem, it just seems to happen with the ebooks we have paid for.  She is using the software which was supplied with the product wereas I am using an updated version.  Between the two of us, we have purchased 12 ebooks and can't get any of them to work on either Reader.
    Can anyone help??

    Adobe aren't much help either. What you have to do is open a web case with the Adobe support team.
    I've been waiting since 25/09/09 for them to reset my account which is what you have to do to get it working again.
    I know this isn't much help but its a start.
    Hopefully it works for both of us if they ever reset the account.

  • MTS- Sony Vegas- FCP

    I have a client who has HD footage that was shot as MTS. He's done his editing in Sony Vegas and he's ready to export his video. I will then integrate that video into a 720p60 timeline in Final Cut Pro. What would be his best export setting for me to then use in FCP? I realize I might have go to Compressor to convert it but I'm unfamiliar with Vegas and I don't know what to tell him. Also, I don't want his render to be uncompressed. It'll be way to big. What would be an Apple ProRes-like export codec for him to use out of Vegas?

    Sony Vegas reads ProRes files. QT for PC must be installed first, if it is not already there.
    [Edit] Sorry, read the OP incorrectly. Render to MXF 422 35 mbps in Vegas. This format imports well into FCP. A free importer from Sony is required in FCP however. Google will find it for you if you do not already have it.

  • Still no 4.3 update for factory unlocked sony xperia z1 in uk

    this is ridiculous that the factory unlocked version is still not got 4.3. this is what i paid nearly 600.00 pounds for. ive had enough of sony excuses like when i took my phone to vodafone and rang up sony in the shop to ask why i have not got 4.3 sony put the blame on vodafone.the vodafone salesman said they were talking rubbish because mine was sim free it was sony fault. then i asked sony on the phone again where was the update now he said they released it in batches. this is coming from europian sony center which said there is no such thing as yellow hue on some of the z1. and sony japan have admitted to it and released a update for z1 in japan. this is from a company that bragged about selling a million ps4 all over the world in 3 days and updating them all in 3 days. if they said the were going to release update for the ps4 in batchs there would be a uproar with everybody. and the z1 costs more than a ps4. so when people say you should wait for the update why should we. we have paid to have the update early on factory unlocked models. and sony can release the update all at once like they did with the ps4 they are just talking out of there a@?e.  vodafone has it in uk. this is sonys way of sticking 2 fingers up to anyone who trusted and believed and paid good money to pay for there phone make of this as you will.

    My unlocked / unbranded UK Xperia Z1 has an update available - 14.2.A.0.290
    It's Android 4.3
