Yeah , orb works well in webbrowser through flash (even TV streaming) but the quality is average.

Do not bother with ANY error message from the media player, it meant NOTHING. It basically tells you it is NOT playing, for whatever reason, no signal, no streaming, out of memory, wrong whatever, it gave the same error statement. Quite interesting.

The video is spectacular if you change the default setting. Default 160 kB/s is very pixelate, 320 kB/s getting much better. Whatever, I am using 640 kB/s. Video is really clear.

I have a set top box with digital cable. Can I use a HAVA box with ORB?

Orb/set top box will stream liveTV to N900. You do not need the HAVA box.

I must be missing something. I don't have a tuner card in my pc. even if I did, how would you change the channel on the set top box? i thought that is why you need the hava box??

Umm...I think you may be right. The HAVA box can be used as a tuner as well as streaming. I have a tuner in addition to the have box. If you do not have a tuner on your computer, yes, you do need the hava box then. Meritline.com or newegg.com, they carry USB TV tuner, $30 - 50$, if you need one. Bottomline, if you have your own tuner card, orb will stream your TV signal. Changing channel is a totally different subject! Get TV streaming signal 1st, we then talk about changing channel. There are ways to change tv channels depends on whether using a setop box
