I tracked down the HANA guys at ces they were hiding in a meeting room near the central hall right around the corner from Tivo(even harder to find).
I asked them a few questions and they had a working demo that looked cool.
I still don't know how HANA is going to be any different than HAVi but guy at the booth seemed to think it would be. Everytime I asked him what the difference was he would site features that were also features of HAVi. His only real answer was it is cheaper but that is really no answer at all. They did have some cool HAVA over COAX/CAT5/Fiber connectors that I have never seen before which could help expand the video network around the house. They also had a cool demo setup with some Mitsubishi TV's as well as some samsung TV's. There were a few Samsung prototype stb's that never existed in the HAVi days so that is also promising.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
