HAVA Titanium HD Download Archive

Announcing HAVA 1.8.0 (November 5, 2008).

Download HAVA_V1.8.0.11.exe here.

We suggest that you choose the "Save" option to save a copy of the installer on your PC's hard drive. Once the download completes, select "Run" or "Open" to launch the installer.

Note to Vista users: If you are using User Account Control (UAC), when you launch the installer, the dialog will show a name similar to "HAVD363.tmp" from "Monsoon Multimedia". This is normal - just click on "Continue" to proceed.

Enhancements compared to 1.7.4:

• HOT NEW FEATURE! HAVA Titanium now can record to an external hard drive attached to its
USB port. Recording can be done either interactively using the HAVA PC Player controls, or it
can be scheduled for later when your PC is not connected. Recorded files can be later played
back from the external hard drive attached to your HAVA over your network using HAVA PC
Player. Check the list of supported USB devices here.
• Remote viewing mode now supports PVR functions (pause, rewind, fast forward, and record).
• HAVA PC Player now supports keyboard shortcuts. See HAVA PC Player Help for details.
• Improved streaming quality in local viewing mode.
• Improved performance when streaming over WiFi to a Vista PC.
