Anyone using LocationFree? Remote Help!

[redboxcar]

Is anyone using the LocationFree on their PSP? I have mine set up and it works beautifully on my VAIO, and it even works beautifully on my PSP... but I can't seem to find the right remote for my PSP version, so I can't change the channel.

I figured it'd be the same remote I set it up with on my laptop, but apparently that's not the case.

I've tried them all... I have DirecTV.

Can anyone help me? =(

I have the Location free TV and use it on my PSP. I simply use the remote it recommended during initial set up. I dont have any DVR or anything like that so I only really use the Channel up/down, guide, and select Keys. Love it.

LocationFree is Sony's version of SlingBox. Basically, you hook it up to your network (wired or wireless-- slingbox needs an extra adapter to go wireles-- LocationFree is integrated), hook the components up to your cable box, and you can stream TV from your box to your laptop and/or PSP (bonus for PSP users-- Slingbox only works on laptops/some cell phones).

You have the LocationFree software installed on your computer or PSP, and basically anytime you are connected to the internet (in a hotel, at the airport, at the library, etc) then you can "log in" to your TV at home and watch what you would be watching at home. You can download the exact remote you use at home, so you are familiar with the buttons and all too (which was my original problem, can't find the right remote).

It's really nice for hotels and stuff where the channels suck and you dunno what comes on at what time... just hook the PSP or laptop up to the TV and watch what you would normally be watching at home. It's also nice when I'm at the library, supposed to be studying, but instead watching TV. =)

It didn't tell me a recommended remote. =(... I don't understand why it wouldn't be the same remote as the one on my laptop, that's what I don't get.

I thought my did when I set it up but that was awhile ago. Does the default remote work?

Sadly, no. When I do the test to see if the TV will power on/off, it does nothing.

I also need help. I have the same problem. Please share what you know.
