About ThereTV (donation version)

ThereTV is a client compatible to the Sony LocationFree Protocol. To use this app you need a LocationFree Base station from Sony.

WARNING!!! This is a BETA release. It has still several bugs. It is NOT MEANT for production use.

WARNING!! The decoding of the Streams is done completely in software which means the CPU has to do a lot of work. Apparently some phones can't handle this. If your phone is not capable of running it due to heat problems, DO NOT USE THIS APP.

It was developed by reverse engineering the LocationFree protocol.

Sony did not contribute to the development of this software. They however granted me the right to distribute it.

Supported Base Stations:
* LF-B1
* LF-PK1 (is the same as the LF-B1)
* LF-B10
* LF-V20
* LF-V30
Experimental support for KR and TW models

If you find any bugs please report them in the xda-developers development thread. You can find the link at http://theretv.zero997.com

The documentation can also be found at http://theretv.zero997.com
You will definitely need to read the documentation to use this app.

Special thanks to my alpha-testers:
* Insanenyc
* Ed Mc Knight (Mister_Mxyzptlk)
* Tommyboy_65_98
* Jim_IT
* Jeremy Carter (for extracting the Sony remotes)

I bought this app with the intent of getting remote codes for my set top box. I don't know if the app is no longer supported but i have yet to hear a reply from the author after emailing my extracted codes. Im not looking for a refund just an answer either way.

The maker of this app went of of his way to track me down and refund my money. Maybe the problem with it overheating my phone had to do with the extra large battery on my Droid Razr Maxx. I don't know.

This is by far my favorite app. Giving my Sony LocationFree box LF-PK1 (EU) a new life. Working perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy SII, Android 4.0.3. Enabling me to view and control my Sky+ box from anywhere, both over WiFi and 3G. The on-screen remote is very usefull for changing channels and setting up recordings for future programs on the sky box. And the picture quality is very good, much better then I expected.

My LF-V30 LocationFree base station has been collecting dust for almost three years now. Back when I still had a PSP, LocationFree player was the best thing since double-sided tape! One time, I took my hacked PSP, PSP component video cables, and my PSP charger to my mother-in-law's house. I hooked it all up to her old-school 4:3 CRT-TV, and we were in business. Now with this app, I can take my TV with me and do it all again! THIS APP FRAKKIN' ROCKS!!!!

I don't normally purchase a program when there is a free one available, but I would really like to support the development of this software. There is a little bit of an issue with the use of my locationFree player. The video slows to 1 frame per second (or worse) when put at best quality. Also, there is a bit of colored fuzz showing below the video in the 'empty' space. This mostly goes away when I play with the horizontal sizing a bit. I have one of the older models of the LocationFree base stations, so I'm not sure if that is the issue. Still, this is a very useful first release of the software. I look forward to updates. Keep up the good work!
