Can you stream 'Live' Tv Stations from this? (If so, how & from where...?)

Yes, however you have to install XBMC and also install Fusion and Mashup that takes some time and experience

I am not sure that you can. There are some streaming sites that are only set up for computer use, and maybe not for this player. The "channels" that you can get are already preprogramed on it, like Amazon Prime, Netflix and Vudu, along with many others. I would check on the Sony site for questions and their trouble shooting knowledge base for this player. I would also check the website that you are trying to stream and see if they have any information on if what you can stream it on.

ok,well,as i just stated in my last post, i have already gone to antennaweb.org.and their information must be taken with a grain of salt.the predictions for what you can and cannot get seem to be educated guesses,but do not pan out (at least in my case). but anyway,i already know that knowing the location of a transmitter generally helps.i only want information on different makes of converter boxes.

According to the c.crane site: tunein.com will work. It did for me. I wanted to see if my local NPR stations are available and they are.

You need and HD source. OTA antenna if you can pick up locals, sat., or cable box with HDMI or component outputs.

Yes you can. You can stream from any Airplay device. I just tested it from my AppleTV and it works fine.

Can I connect a free to air sat reciever directly to this item to watch tv stations?

Not really. You can add the private channel "nowhere TV" that has some local stations content: http://www.thenowhereman.com/roku/ but it isn't live, it is different segments you choose to play. You can often though get great HD reception on most HD TVs with a $30-$50 antenna and pickup the local news that way.

I bought the unit for my parent in law. They used it to watch TV program from China. I don't know if it can receive local channels. The signals aren't very good.

No, you can not. Despite their claims, you can not listen to the stations of your choice. The stations must provide the proper MP3 format, and many have other formats, if any. This item sits here on my desk, unused and unusable for the purpose I was lead to believe it would fulfill.

You could potentially use it via a USB connection with a converter, but it's really designed for direct connection to a live streaming provider.

Not that I know of maybe you have a friend with a sling box (cable or sat also needed on there end) I have live tv on my pc with one. That's the only way to get live tv with Internet. Some of thouse station will have some stuff on there sites. But that way kinda sucks. Hope this helps

Sure you can plug it in, but you probably won't receive anything. I'm quite sure that all broadcasts in the United States are now in digital except for possibly the odd UHF station.

Yes, it can browse/playback media from a DLNA server (personally I use Tversity).

I don't know. I do not have cable and can only get local stations. My son-in-law hooked it up for me.
