I'm one of those on the positive side of the Hava experience, and although I've had a few issues here and there, they've mostly been ironed out. I was also one of those that had a no brainer installation using a motorola sbg900 router withmwpa encryption and Hava's setup recognized itself, the router and it was all functional within a minute, so I'm sure there are those that have had alternative problems with the Hava product, but for me I've had mostly good things to say.

If I've got any issues I'd say it does run hot ( I live in the desert and have it on a zalman nc cooler on one of the hava usb ports to take care of that ), I'd like better sound quality in remote mode and I'd like the features that were promised when I purchased it to be activated ( usb connection to a hard drive ). There's supposed to be a firmware/software upgrade out pretty soon that might help those with some of the issues they have, but overall the Nokia hava player is now pretty solid after beta testing and I've got full functionality of my SA 8300 DVR on it, so I'm one of those that gives an overall thumbs up to the whole experience.

One last thing on a side note though, I really think Hava needs a slingcatcher type product to compete with slingbox, because anyone with the opportunity to have a cable box overseas connected to a slingbox will appreciate the slingcatcher's ability to send it directly to the TV without the need for a windows media center pc. Also, my understanding is that slingbox has a wi-fi adapter in the works, so that gets rid of the hava's wireless advantage. Still, I chose the hava for its wireless abililties at the time and the ability to watch the N810 using it and so far I'm pretty impressed.
