By connecting your HD video source to the HAVA Titanium HD, you can stream live television to multiple PCs around your house using your home network. You no longer need to worry about TV connections and set-top boxes. Streams come in at DVD-quality wherever you are in your home, and multiple users around your house can watch/record the same program at the same time thanks to VBooster Multicast technology. View Television Remotely From Virtually Anywhere
The HAVA Titanium HD allows you to watch your local television programming, or programming from another connected A/V device, from anywhere in the world with a broadband Internet connection. As you are watching, other members of the household can also watch the same programming on the home network. You can even remotely control the settings for virtually any A/V device, including PVRs, satellite TV, and digital cable boxes; a customizable virtual remote will show up on screen allowing for complete control of the device. It's like having a remote control that works everywhere! Works as a PVR!
The HAVA Titanium HD can also function as a PVR. You can record, pause, fast forward, and rewind live TV right on your computer. Recorded shows are stored on your PC's hard drive, or on an external USB drive (sold separately). After you've recorded shows, you can burn them onto DVD for archiving or viewing during those instances when you don't have an Internet connection. The HAVA works out of the box with Microsoft MCE, or you can install the included PVR software for non-MCE PCs. Compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Media Center PCs and Notebooks
When you connect HAVA Titanium HD to your network, you are in essence creating a virtual TV tuner for Media Center PCs. This eliminates the need for a separate TV tuner card, and the need for any hard-wired cable connection. 
Using the HAVA mobile player software, you can watch television on your cell phone. | Two USB Ports for Upgradeability and Additional Functionality
The Titanium HD has two built-in USB ports, allowing for upgrade possibilities. By adding a wireless dongle, you can add wireless video streaming. You can also connect an external USB hard drive for use with the PVR functionality, allowing for more recording time than just that on your computer's hard drive. High-Quality Viewing
By employing the standard MPEG-2 format, the HAVA Titanium HD achieves the best possible video quality over a home network. Television programming that is streamed through your home network boasts DVD-quality clarity. The video is also simultaneously encoded with the MPEG-4 standard, which has a higher compression and allows for remote viewing over a broadband Internet connection by a single client. Thanks to the VBooster technology, all the users on the home network can experience high-quality video. While watching video, users can simultaneously use the Internet for regular uses such as web browsing, email, chatting, printing, transferring files, etc. The encoding is automatically adjusted based on the available bandwidth to ensure steady and smooth video all the time. The HAVA Titanium HD requires a home network with a 10/100 base-T router with an available Ethernet port, a broadband Internet connection (300Kbps upstream recommended) for remote viewing, and a PC with Windows XP/Vista and a minimum of an Intel Pentium 1.2 GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM for XP and 1GB of RAM for Vista, 75 MB of disk space for the HAVA software, an Ethernet connection, DirectX 9-class video card, and an audio output. The HAVA Titanium HD is backed by a 1-year warranty. What's in the Box

 Great placeshifting device at a great price April 5, 2010
William Stark
I haven't used much place-shifting hardware. I've used software to do roughly the same thing before though. I have to say that this is an excellent product considering the features and price compared to the other place-shifting manufacturers. Setup was a GUI guided interface that had everything updated and running in about 10 minutes. I had some issues getting a good picture on my cell phone and I still haven't gotten WMC to play nice with it but it comes with software that is tremendously amount more customizable. I really love being able to watch my satellite TV anywhere I go and it makes those monthly fees much more worthwhile. I'm glad I looked around before I got a slingbox.
Used with xbox 360 February 25, 2010
J. White
I used this to burn game footage from my xbox 360. I can then burn to DVD or post online. Be advised, you may have to do some experimenting to get the best image you can. My movies are not quite as clear as the original, but they look good and small details like numbers in the hud can be easily read on an hd tv. I have not and do not plan to use the remote viewing aspect, and I did not buy the device for that purpose. This works much better, though, for capturing video than a standard definition capture card.
Not really HD February 11, 2010
Andrew Knutsen (Santa Cruz, CA)

This is a very nice device, but its not really HD. The only way "HD" applies is that it supports wide formats. However it does not support sending or recording resolutions over D1 (DVD-style). Also, although it will record at 8 Mbps, it will not do so to NTFS filesystems on the USB drive, so its limited to 4GB which is less than a movie.
Singbox Competitor? December 21, 2009
WPB Consulting (Cary, NC)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was very excited to get this product, as I was looking for something to sling HD TV to PCs and replace my older Slingbox. In a haste to order it, I somehow completely missed the fact that this device has NO tuner of its own. In order to sling TV, it requires the output of another device such as a cable box, etc. I really, really wanted to like this device, but without a built-in tuner, I can't see how this competes.
Kudos to Amazon, however, on the speed of shipping as the item arrived quickly and safely. Like Ralphie on Christmas morning, I ripped into the package which was nicely organized with little envelopes for each group of interconnects and wall wart.
But, as I gawked, mouth agape, at the back of the HAVA device, I scratched my head. It was like getting the pink bunny outfit rather than the Red Rider Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle.
Amazon was quick to respond to the problem and offered an immediate pickup and return, no questions asked.
Hava is better than it's competition November 16, 2009

I have never owned but have had experience with the competition. This product is far superior picture and sound transmission. The no.1 plus is the capability to transmit to more than a single location at concurrently.
