Monsoon’s HAVA player will allow to watch and control home TV from the iPhone

Monsoon Multimedia have announced a rather cool new product for the iPhone, called the HAVA Player. The HAVA Player for iPhone will allow customers to view and control their home television and services, including satellite and TiVo, from anywhere in the world.

An on-screen remote lets viewers change channels, browse a program guide, pause, view recorded shows and more with virtually any TV source, including cable, satellite receiver, or DVR, in real time via the iPhone’s touch screen interface.

Monsoon has also added the capability for users to export their HAVA DVR recordings to iTunes to watch their recorded content on their iPod and iPhone, enabling HAVA owners to take their recorded television content with them on airplanes or other places where a connection can be lost.

Monsoon’s HAVA features video multicasting capabilities which allow users to broadcast their home television to multiple devices within their home network while simultaneously place-shifting video to a connected PC or mobile phone anywhere in the world. Now, these features are available to iPod and iPhone users. It will be available in Q1 2009.
