HAVA Titanium HD $119.99 At Buy.com

Buy,com has the HAVA Titanium HD for $119.99. The HAVA Titanium HD from Monsoon Multimedia is a place-shifting device similar to the Sling Media Slingbox SOLO. Clients are available for Windows XP/Vista, Windows Mobile, Symbian S60, and Nokia Internet Tablets – no Mac OS, Palm OS, or Symbian UIQ support.


I work for Sling Media, and the HAVA is ostensibly our primary competitor.

Slingbox SOLO For $134.95 At Buy.com

Buy.com has the Slingbox SOLO, which has a $179.99 MSRP, for just $134.95. The SOLO is perfect for those looking to place-shift a single device. It has component, S-Video, and composite inputs and accepts HD input, though streaming is limited to 640×480. (HD content is down-converted.)

While it officially supports one device, here’s a trick. You can connect multiple devices using audio Y-cables to share the single audio connection. As long as the connected devices can be switched off, so only one is feeding audio to the Slingbox as a time, you can connect one to component, one to S-Video, and one to composite and switch between them. So you can have three devices as long as only one at a time is on.

Western Digital 500GB My DVR Expander eSATA Just $131.99 At Buy.com

Thanks to my friend Jer for the heads up on this great deal. Buy.com is selling the TiVo-approved Western Digital 500GB My DVR Expander eSATA External Hard Drive for just $131.99 – and that’s with free shipping. That’s a great deal, Buy.com has the list price as $179.99 and TiVo.com still lists them for the old $199.99 MSRP. This is the only eSATA drive officially sanctioned by TiVo for use with the TiVo Series3 and the TiVo HD. I’ve had one connected to my Series3 for quite a while and it works great.

EDIT: Reader Mike Turpin points out that you can get the same deal through Amazon.com from the seller BuyNow Incorporated (see the ‘More Buying Choices’ on the right) and avoid the sales tax Buy.com charges in several states. BuyNow Incorporated is really Buy.com, so it is the same deal, without tax for those who would be charged from Buy.com. Thanks Mike!

From June 2 through June 8, Buy.com is selling the Slingbox PRO with the HD Connect as a bundle for only $195.00. That’s over $100 off the $299.98 combined MSRP. I own a Slingbox PRO myself, and it is a nice box if you want to sling from multiple sources.


Disclaimer: I’m currently employed by Sling Media, but I’ve owned my Slingbox PRO for much longer than I’ve worked there.

Amazon Now Carries 500GB eSATA Western Digital My DVR Expander

Mark noticed that Amazon is now carrying the 500GB eSATA Western Digital My DVR Expander, the only drive currently approved for use with the TiVo Series3 and the TiVo HD, in fact the only drive that works with the TiVo HD without hacking. It looks like Amazon started stocking it on April 30th. The $192.23 price is better than the full $199.99 MSRP that TiVo.com sells them for, but not the lowest price available online, for example, Buy.com has it for $172.99. I use one of these with my Series3 and it works great. I’ve also updated the site store.
