Watch and control your home TV on your S60 phone from anywhere in the world

Monsoon Multimedia is proud to present the long awaited Mobile Player for S60 devices.

Important Update Monday, January 26, 2009.

  • The remote connection server has changed - so you'll need to download and install this new version of the S60 Player to connect to your HAVA.
  • To use this build you must uninstall/remove the previously installed version of the S60 Player first.

The latest Mobile Player for S60 is available for download from http://monsoonftp.com/download/s60release/HavaPlayer1.0.71.SISX.

Here is a shorter URL for your convenience: http://tinyurl.com/bxmrq2.

Watch and control your home TV from your S60 handset from anywhere in the world over broadband internet; via WiFi or a 3G connection. The on-screen remote and keyboard shortcuts allow you to control all your TV functions, just as you do at home with your TV remote.

To use Mobile Player you will need to have a device installed in your home to stream your home TV signal, and a broadband data connection at both ends.

If you do not already own a Monsoon product, you can see all of the available models at http://www.myhava.com/products.html.
