Hi guys and gals.
I watch my dreambox 80% of the time on the road through my psp and a bit of hardware by Sony called 'LocationFree Player'.
It works seemlessly, but then I thought to myself 'hmmm I'll get a s-video cable for my PSP-2000 and output the signal to the hotel tv so I can watch the football with friends on tour and not just by myself. The S-video cable works perfectly for everything accept LocationFree player which just gives me a blank screen.
I called SONY up and they literally had no clue about there product, I got fedup and gave up on the idea.
Nearly a year on and I came across this Sony eSupport - LF-PK1 - News & Alerts
Under 'Will the PSP? (PSP-2000 series) output all signals to a TV?' it explains that if Macrovision is on, no output will be displayed on the TV from the PSP... (Im guessing the signal has macrovision on as this must be the only barrier in my way and nothing else is explained)
are there any works arounds? like relaying the signal without Macrovision or simply bing able to turn it off?
I realise this isnt a common problem but it would make life a hell of a lot easier if I can resolve this problem (especially in time for the Champions League Final)
Many Thanks In Advance
EDIT: Seems as though any encryptian is going t give me problems. Does anyone have a workaround? would it change if I ran the dreambox through another device like a vcr and then connected the vcr to the LF-PK1?
