Very impressed.

I bought this to replace a Slingbox Pro which quit working for all but the component source. Before that I had a Slingbox Classic which worked perfectly until I was duped into buying the Pro. For remote viewing the classic was every bit the equal to the Pro. Because of this and other issues(only 1 viewer, no recording, complicated set-up)I decided to jump ship and boy am I glad I did.

The picture quality is superb. Not HD of course. Anyone with some common sense should know the US doesn't yet have the bandwidth for streaming true HD video. Compared to the SB Pro it's nite and day. Hava seems to have made a bit of a trade off in that they sacrifice frame rate for video compression. It uses MP4 remotely as opposed to the highly inefficient wmv stream Sling uses. While I'm experiencing a little stuttering, each frame is devoid of any compression artifacts and that's while running at 350-500 kbps, the wifi cap at my workplace. The Slingboxes would produce terrible artifacting even when I would get 700 kbps spikes. I get up 8 mbps localy while my SB Pro averaged around 3.5 mbps. Lastly the audio on my Slingboxes was always out of sync. Haven't had that ploblem yet with the Hava.

I was a little reticent about this purchase since I got mine slightly used(though at an extreme bargain)but it was a breeze to set up and worked right away. It could take hours with the Sling devices requiring me to get into my router and setup port forwarding and make notes of all the IP's that I would have to enter into the Slingbox network properties. Not so with the Hava. I accessed my router only to see if it was in the DHCP list only to verify it was being detected by my network.

Finally I like the looks of the Hava better. I think it's admirable that Sling tried to be stylish but they just look out of place in a rack so I would hide mine which sort of defeats the purpose of trying to be avant garde. The Hava's drawback is the bright blue lights on the front so it's hidden as well.

Nice Alternative to the Pricier Slingbox

I was set on purchasing a Slingbox Solo when I came across the Hava Platinum HD Device. Based on my intended use - mainly for tailgating at 2-3 WVU Mountaineer and Pittsburgh "Stillers" games per year, I went with the less expensive Hava unit (about $50 less than the Slingbox).

I set up the unit to an older Linxsys router connected to my home PC (Dell) and to my Comcast HD cable box. I used a 5-year old Sony Vaio (15.4" screen) with a Virgin Mobile broadband connection to watch ESPN Game Day (before the game) and any other college games of interest (after the game) remotely.

And now for the results. The video quality was near excellent outside of full screen mode, good at full screen mode - just a slight "choppy" here and there. The delay between hitting buttons on the on-screen remote and something actually happening was reasonable - about 3 seconds. Audio was okay - limited by the small laptop speakers (I'll bring external speakers next time). The screen did freeze on me a couple of times (for about 10 seconds each time), but fixing did not require me to do anything drastic, like logging out of Hava or Virgin Mobile. I have been told that freezing is a router issue. Thus, I may update my home router to a "21st Century" version that is good with streaming. A newer laptop would probably help as well.

Overall, I (and the other tailgaters) were impressed with the ability to watch something that I would watch at home at an event 240 miles away from home. The only drawback was a couple of 10-second freezes in the streaming, but since this occurred over 5 hours, it was no biggie. BTW - I called Hava's customer support line with a few questions, and they were responsive and nice. I would recommend this unit.

Product is awesome

This product surpassed all of my expectations. I was able to hook up using Component video and HD quality on my phone and computer are great. The mobile app used for this unit is great. It was even easy to setup the remote control function the first try, the setup wizard walks you through. I was able to control every function of the directTV box and was streaming with multiple devices at once with little to no buffering. I imagine that if you use the A/V composite cables, there would be less quality but the speed would increase. I had to buy a pair of Home Plugs, found on amazon. Since I didn't get the wireless one, you have to have Ethernet cable and those work great too. Also when on a computer you can record anything you are watching onto your harddrive and watch it later, great function that is not possible on Slingbox. Great product, will buy another one for DVR in the basement. By the way if you are going to stream on a phone or tablet, download the Vulkano App and sign in the with the username you created at setup and you're all good.
