The HAVA Gold HD announced today (and available for sale) is a $129 box that not only allows you to turn your Windows PC into a TiVo-like video recorder, but you can stream MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video to multiple PCs as well. Those using the box with a Windows XP Media Center Edition as well as eventual Vista users can use the HAVA Gold HD as a TV tuner.
What got yanked to make the price lower than the higher-end unit appears to be all the built-in wireless features and fewer I/O options (no RF on the Gold version).
More specs and a picture of the rear after the jump.
