Other shortcomings are more subtle. For instance, the onscreen remote for controlling our Scientific Atlanta DVR on the Sony covered the basics--changing channels and pausing and rewinding live TV--but it lacked the all-important List key for accessing our recorded programs.
While we were able to use the Sony's learning function to add the List function, we had to create the entire remote from scratch--a lengthy process--because the Sony software wouldn't let us update existing remote templates. By comparison, the onscreen remote on the Slingbox software is an exact duplicate of our Scientific Atlanta remote, with all the same placement and functionality, including full DVR controls.
Likewise, the actual software installation for the Slingbox is just easier: the Windows PC software client for the Slingplayer is available as a free download at Sling Media's Web site. That means anyone can download it at any time, and you can easily install it on as many PCs as you'd like; just have the Slingbox ID and password handy, and logging in is a cinch--be it on your work PC, home desktop, or even at a friend's house--so long as there's only one person logged in at a time, of course.
It's also worth mentioning some of the caveats that apply to all of these so-called placeshifting devices, including the Slingbox. Most importantly, the LF-B20 will monopolize whatever device--or devices--to which it's attached.
That's no problem if the cable box in question is sitting in an empty house, and you're out on the road; it's a big problem if a family member is at home watching TV, and you decide to remotely change the channel. Secondly, the LocationFree TV products are only as good as the products they're connected to. Finally, the video quality is largely determined by the upstream broadband connection at the source; if your bandwidth isn't in the sweet spot say, Kbps to Kbps , you'll get a lot of herky-jerky video.
On the brighter side, Sony has some interesting upgrades lined up for the LocationFree platform. In addition to the promised Windows Mobile client mentioned above, Sony is also pledging to deliver something that Slingbox can't yet match: a hardware client. And there's no reason that Sony couldn't eventually integrate the same sort of receiver into its PlayStation although such functionality is nothing more than pure speculation at this point.
But that's the future, and this is now. As of this writing, we feel the Slingbox still delivers a better overall experience, thanks to a more streamlined setup process, superior software and streaming performance, and better device compatibility.
It's certainly a big improvement over the earlier LocationFree TV products, and there's no reason that it can't get better still with continued software and firmware upgrades. John Falcone. Convoluted setup and installation; software remote support should be expanded and improved; Mac software clients--and additional Windows PC clients--cost extra; Windows Mobile client announced but not yet released.
Sony's improved third-generation LocationFree TV product includes several cool features--including wireless connectivity, PSP compatibility, and remote control customization--but setup headaches and software limitations keep it from being a true Slingbox killer. In fact, Sony's first LocationFree products--the LF-X1 and the LF-X5 --were available a year before Slingbox's summer debut, but they were hobbled by high prices, the need for proprietary viewing hardware, and a steep learning curve when it came to installation and setup.
