FoPW (Friend of PVR Wire) Dave Zatz has been playing around with a Hava unit for the last few months. Monsoon Multimedia's Hava is designed to be a Slingbox killer, offering the same ability to stream your personal media through the internet.
The difference is the Hava lets you stream to multiple computers simultaneously, and it includes Wi-Fi for connecting to your home network.
In a nutshell, he concludes that it's pretty nifty if you're a Windows user, but for now it's Windows only. The software's not quite as polished as Sling Media's, but we've been hearing that for months. But the software's the main reason I'm writing this post, as I haven't seen many screenshots before. So here, have another. This one's the configuration screen:
1. I've had the HAVA for 6 motnhs and it still doesn't work! They keep posting firmware and software updates on their site, but to no avail. They can't get the product to work and they won't give me my money back. Nobody was told this was a beta test product when it was sold to the public. Stay away from HAVA!!!!!
