Editors' Choice HDTV HAVA Titanium HD WIFI Reviewed by Terry Kibiloski
The Monsoon Hava Titanium HD WIFI video streamer (Retail $249.99) is a great device that lets you watch your home TV content in any room in the house or, if you’re not in your house, you can even have your home TV content appear in your hotel room on your PC or mobile phone. The magic comes from video streaming through a wireless connection that uses your home wireless router. When you are away from home, the signal gets to your PC over the Internet. How is that for cool? Well, it gets better. This device comes with a remote control that shows up on your PC screen so you can control your set top box, TIVO or any other video source, and it looks just like the remote control you use in your home. The HAVA Titanium HD WiFi is projected to get even better. At the present moment, you can use HAVA's recording capability to record your favorite channels. In the future, you will be able to connect the latest wireless 802.11n dongles which will provide super fast video streaming and true HD video, plus you will be able to connect a USB hard drive and store and retrieve all your multimedia-video, or connect a digital video tuner that lets you tune in to free over-the-air HD channels and watch them anywhere, anytime. In summary, the Hava Titanium HD WIFI provides the following features:
In fact, the HAVA Titanium HD WIFI turns your PC into a PVR so you can record your favorite TV shows directly to an internal PC hard disk or to an externally attached USB hard disk, or you could burn them to a DVD for playback or archiving purposes. This cool device even lets you timeshift (pause, fast forward & rewind) your live TV on any PC so you will never miss that pivotal sports moment again. That means that one member of your family could be watching the game without interruptions, while you pause the game to go use the bathroom, having no ill effects on anyone else’s viewing. Now, here is the best part. You do not have to have a TV tuner installed on your PCs. With the HAVA Titanium HD WIFI you can connect any HD video source and watch TV on a Microsoft Media Center, XP or Vista PC without having a TV Tuner installed. If you have multiple PC's on the home network, HAVA can stream live TV to multiple PC's simultaneously and to another Internet connected PC or cell phone somewhere else in the world. While there have been similar devices available before, the Hava Titanium HD WIFI is the first of its kind to earn the Computer Times Editors’ Choice award. As with all of our Editors' Choices, this is a quality product that delivers a lot of bang for the buck. For more information, and a discount price for this unit, click on the link below.
