Sony LocationFree LF-PK1

Just as Microsoft's Xbox 360 has been designed to handle music, photos, video and recorded TV, we'll expect similar multimedia mastery from Sony's PlayStation 3. In fact, the US version of PSM magazine has been stirring up the fan-boy excitement with an article that speculates about the PS3's multimedia abilities.

"The PS3 will supposedly have full DVR functionality," report our colleagues at CVG, "meaning you'll be able to digitally record all your favourite TV shows for later viewing in much the same way as Sky+. What's more, it seems you can use your PSP to control the DVR functionality."

But that's not the interesting part. At CES, Sony CEO Howard Stringer demonstrated the latest incarnation of its LocationFree technology, which enables you to watch TV over the Internet on a PC or PSP.

The system works using a LocationFree base station as a digital hub. This router-style device plugs directly into your content source - typically a broadcast feed, but the package includes an IR blaster for controlling set-top boxes and other AV gadgetry, such as DVD players. The base station then transmits the video signals over a LAN or the Internet.

I am the sort of guy who passions to try hot things. Presently I'm building my personalized photovoltaic panels. I'm managing it all by myself without the assistance of my staff. I'm using the internet as the only way to acheive that. I saw a very amazing website which explains how to make pv panels and wind generators. The website explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I'm not exactly sure about how accurate the data given there iz. If some people over here who have experience with these works can have a peak and give your feedback in the page it will be grand and I'd extremely value it, cause I extremely enjoy solar panel construction.

Tnx for reading this. U people are the best.
