Man I’d this for real? This document is dated January and it’s now September. I’m really hating this wait. I have found a different way of getting my dish to work on my iPhone! Dish now let’s you schedule DVD recordings online, which is great. I have a web streaming server streaming my dish signal, then I can see and hear video on safari accessing my webserver. The quality is not great but not much worse than an SD tv. The control is a bit slow since I have to go to the dish site to schedule a recording when i want to change a channel. But hey it’s better than nothing. Hava please release the app, love using multiple pc clients and multiple inputs.

What I like is Hava’s remote recording which sling wont enable.

Sociable TV will be a blast… sure will shake up the market.

these guys must be on crack! Never gonna happen. There are sites that are doing ’shared TV’ already and guess what – legally. http://miiTV.com you can watch CNN or BLOOMBERG TV live, among others or watch movies and TV shows and ‘chat’ w/friends while watching.

“…and will include other sociable features such as friends list, text chat…”

That was the promise of Joost when I was a beta tester in 2005 – and they never delivered.

Cannot wait for the Twitter Yahoo TV widget – that will be totally fun!

Dave, I am glad to hear all of this news. I have the Slingbox Classic and bought a Hava a couple months ago too. I use the Hava primarily because they have a Nokia Internet Tablet client and I can run their mobile software on all of my mobile devices without having to pay for a client for each device. If Sling would give me free mobile clients, then I would upgrade to the latest Slingbox in a heartbeat, but I have too many devices to afford all the mobile licenses.

Very nice to see a Hava iPhone client too. Lastly, I hope they roll out an Android client and would think that would be easier than an iPhone client.
