    My husband just got a Vaio and we were reading about the Locationfree software that came installed on it. It looks pretty cool so we are looking to get a Sony Locationfree unit and just have a couple questions.

    1) Would the main difference between the wireless and regular base station be that we would connect to our RoadRunner wirelessly (like if our modem is upstaris and out cable box downstairs)?

    2) If the hubby is watching tv while away from home, can I watch something else on that same tv or do I have to watch what he is watching?

    3) How much would it effect our internet speed if he is at the office watching tv and I am online at home?

    Thanks!
