That was quick!
Thank you for contacting HAVA and your interest in volunteering for the Internet Tablet Player Beta program.
The Beta program is scheduled to commence by the end of next week. You have been added to the Beta invitation list and please be on the lookout for an email with the invitation form and instructions.
Look forward to working with you!
Beta Team

Very nice. Thanks Reggie for telling the tablet user about this offer.
I've just applied and got the same mail back as Textrat.
Anyway, I have a couple of question which the HAVA website could not answer to me.
I don’t have a TV set-top box or DVR available and so it looks like that I must purchase the "HAVA Wireless HD" instead of the more powerful "HAVA Titanium HD WiFi" with USB HDD support for just $20 more.
Is there really no chance to use the "HAVA Titanium HD WiFi" with a analoge TV cable? Does anybody know if I can use the "HAVA Wireless HD" works with the standard analoge cable TV network in Germany? Using this "HAVA Wireless HD" with an analog cable, what does this mean regarding switching channels? Is there a tuner included in the "HAVA Wireless HD" box?
I might could live without the USB HDD support in case the HAVA box is able to stream stuff from a samba network driver over the ethernet connection. Does anybody know if the HAVA boxes can do this as well?
I hope that someone has a little bit experience with the HAVA boxes and is able to answer the questions. Thanks in advance.

Sorenzo, a lot of VCRs have built in TV tuners so you can record TV shows directly. What you can do is split your cable going to the VCR and have the vcr output pass through the HAVA Titanium HD WiFi, maybe via S-Video. You can then control your VCR from the HAVA Player.
I'll try to see if someone from Monsoon can join the discussion.

Reggie,
Your explanation of the different models makes a lot more sense than that posted at myhava.com.
Still I've got a couple questions.
You wrote:
What is this USB WiFi adapter — what's it for?
Am I reading you right simply to say the Titanium is more flexible and more expandable, which has benefits as new features/hardware are offered?
Other question:
You don't mention FIOS, but I seem to recall it was mentioned before as compatible. There's regular FIOS and FIOS digital.
Thanks. I think I'll start the wheels rolling now anyway.
Roger

HAVA Platinum HD.
This is the lowest cost solution.
Same as HAVA Titanium HD WiFi, but no USB ports and no USB WiFi adapter.

Roger, as what GA has mentioned, I think the Titanium comes with an external USB wifi device so you don't have to run a CAT5 cable to your HAVA:
As for FIOS, I'm not sure how it works. Don't you have an external digital box where FIOS is connected to? The box should then connect to the HAVA and use its pass-through to the TV.

Thanks for the info.
