Hi There

I am currently in Japan for a couple of weeks and was hoping to buy a Sony Location Free base unit while I am here. I want to use to stream Japanese TV so my family and I can watch it back in New Zealand.
I `ve been to a few stores over here asking about whether it will work for what I want it to do and it looks like it will but they have all said that I will need to set up a static IP address for my broadband connection in Japan. They also said that I would have to have a very good security set up as staic IP addresses are prone to attack from viruses and hackers.

I was reading through some of the posts and i got the impression that I might not have to have a static IP address.

If there is anyone out there that can help me with my questions or point me in the right direction i would be really really grateful.

Thanks

Rob

Hey Rob,
You do not need to have a Static IP, you may also use a DNS service like the one offered for free by ChangeIP.com or any other service, and be set for streaming JP TV to NZ as long as the upload speeds where the Base is connected more than 300 Kbs and you on your end have High speed as well.
