ASTC HD TV Tuner support

Postby bickyb on Tue Jan 19, 2010 4:46 pm

Hi,
I would definitely like to see one of the new Hava models coming out support an ASTC HD TV coax input. I know a lot of folks don't have cable/satellite, but they would still like to use Hava's streaming capabilities. I have a Hava Platinum, but this is one of the reasons why I also use my Sling.

Yeah. Monsoon could quit copying Sling Media products and start copying SiliconDust products instead. ;)

I don't think this could be viewed as a copy of Silicon Dust's functionality. I view my Hava box as a hybrid of what Sling and Silicon Dust does anyways. Anyway, just trying to give the Hava guys something that could make their product way more popular.

:? Oh really? No currently shipping Monsoon product has an ATSC tuner. There have been rumors of one to replace the NTSC tuner in the Hava Wireless HD. There have also been rumors of a new 1080i streaming Hava model. I don't know what has become of those plans, but the Monsoon Volcano apparently can do neither. :(

The Slingbox Pro-HD does have an ATSC and clear-QAM tuner. That would make it a true hybrid of what the Hava and the HDHomeRun can do. So I take back my tongue in cheek remark above. Monsoon should continue copying Sling Media, ;) only doing it better.
