HAVA Wireless HD 1.5 - Beta 1:

This is a Beta build. We have tested this for a variety of network conditions. At the same time, we certainly do not have all the different network configurations and router/AP variations in our labs to test all user scenarios. As such, we are putting this build out as a Beta build - hoping that our customers will test this at their homes or other installed locations and give us the feedback so we can fix any remaining issues and make a stable usable release for our users. The other reason we are calling this a "Beta build" is that some new features such as record and burn are still under testing.

Here are the new features in this release:

• Wired setup and playback support
  Users who do not have a wi-fi router or adapter can connect to HAVA Wireless HD over a wired LAN and configure and play video back on their laptops/desktops over the LAN.
• Wired and Wireless setup and playback support
  Users have the choice of configuring and watching the video over a wired or wireless network. HAVA Wireless HD can now service wired and wireless users simultaneously.
• TV Scanning in Setup
  Users will now be able to Tune HAVA Wireless HD to their TV/Cable channels with better accuracy.
• Enhanced Support for Windows MCE - via BeanBag
  HAVA Wireless HD 1.0 allows MCE users to use HAVA Wireless HD as a wireless TV Tuner. However it is not able to fully support EPG and has restrictions on the number of channels that you can control.
  In HAVA Wireless HD 1.5 release, we are releasing new software that allows users to control the Set-Top-Box or Cable box with HAVA Wireless HD IR Blaster via the MCE "Bean Bag" device. If you have an MCE "Bean Bag" device, you will now be able to take full advantage of the EPG provided by MCE.
• Record, Manage and Burn in HAVA Wireless HD PC Player With HAVA Wireless HD 1.0, the user could time-shift the playback and control the pause/live playback and seek in the time-shift buffer.
  With HAVA Wireless HD 1.5 release, you will be able to record the clips (in local viewing mode) to the hard disk, manage the recorded clips via a My Recordings interface and also burn any clip to a DVD with a simple and elegant user-interface. You can also play any recorded clips for your enjoyment at a later time, even when you are not connected to HAVA Wireless HD.
• Improved remote viewing with slow internet connections
  HAVA Wireless HD 1.5 has further improvements over the HAVA Wireless HD 1.01 Patch release for remote viewing quality and stability for slow internet connections. We have also improved the bit-rate statistics reported to the user by the PC player.
