On at least a couple of occasions the Tablet client has been unable to connect, returning an error message advising the Hava unit is unreachable and may be switched off.
The Titanium is connected via CAT5 to my Wireless ADSL Router (SpeedTouch 585). All other devices connect via Wi-Fi.
The first time this occurred I power cycled the Hava and all was good. Second time round I thought I would first check things from the PC which actually connected fine. I tried again from my N810 but received the same error so then performed a remote reboot of the Hava unit via the PC Player but this didn't change things. i.e. Hava unit came back online and PC Player reconnected fine, but N810 still couldn't see it.
At this point I knew all devices had working network connections, e.g. PC <--> Hava, N810 <--> PC. So this time, rather than power cycling the Hava I reconnected it to another Ethernet port and it worked!
Not sure what the issue was, but in the event this happens again I'll try to gather more information before attempting any fixes.

For now, anybody know why they only allow a single NIT to connect at a time? This seems like a really stupid limitation. I was thinking it would be cool to use it as a remote social TV/movie watching sort of deal. . . .

as far as I can figure, the Hava/N800 connection is a remote connection hence you bump into the 1 remote connection limit. your N800 is going out over the internet and contacting their P2P server. this would affect any "non local subnet" viewing of your hava. there might be some hack way around this but I think maybe they hard coded their P2P address into the client.
according to their website, local discovery of the unit is being done as a udp broadcast. they don;t do things the "slingbox way". with slingbox, they seem to use the IP address for remote connections and you can directly connect to it even over the internet using DynDns.
used my N800 extensively over the weekend on the road using poor wifi connections and the quality was still very good. a few times this weekend, got messages saying their p2p server was down which is not so good.
personally, I think Hava has hit a homerun w/ this 1st implementation of their client for the n800. for basic functionality, it is rock solid. however, some of the ways the do things is "quirky".

i am a little surprised there isn;t more chatter on this subject.
the ability to watch full streaming video stream and control your media feed from your N800/N810 should be big news.
the only thing that could trump this is if Slingbox released a client that worked on N770's!
then again....maybe the Hava client isn't such a killer app as I thought, afterall...

I think you usually get a lot of chatter when stuff is broken or doesn't work right. From my experience the Hava stuff works pretty darn well (doubly so considering it's a beta). So maybe that's the reason for the lack of discussion here.
