Honestech My-IPTV wants some of that sweet Slingbox action

How often have you said to yourself, I'd really like a Slingbox, but wouldn't it be great if it was just a little bit cheaper and from an obscure company? Well, then there's Moonsoon Multimedia's Hava.

No, no, you say. Even cheaper and more obscure. Ah hah. Have you considered the Honestech My-IPTV? Of course not. You've never even heard of them. So there.

Anyway, rather than giving you a box to set down by your TV, Honestech's solution includes an external USB tuner and software for your computer. Install the tuner and software, and you can stream video to internet-connected devices including computers, Windows Mobile phones or PDAs. PVR functions are also available.

Prices start at $99. Of course, for less money than that, you could just pick up a cheap TV tuner, set up Media Portal or GB-PVR for free, and use Orb to stream your video over the net.
