      Search Amazon.com for LF-B20 (same price too). Mixed reviews on Amazon, but several encouraging reviews.

      How it Works
      The LocationFree Base Station connects to your TV, DVD Player, or DVR via standard audio/video cable or S Video. It then uses your home broadband connection to send the TV programs or movies of your choice over the Internet to your Windows or Mac laptop or Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)--to any location in the world you happen to find a high-speed Internet connection (for example to the airport where you are waiting for that flight that has been delayed now for the second time). For Pocket PC and Windows Smartphone users, Sony says software for Windows Mobile powered devices is coming soon.

      To control the Base Station remotely you will need to install the included LocationFree Player software on the laptop you intend to use. The PSP connection requires no additional hardware. Changing channels on your TV, cable box, or DVR is accomplished via an IR (infrared) Blaster connected to the BaseStation and then positioned on your cable box or DVR so that it can zap the infrared reciever with your laptop, just as you would from the couch with your remote.
