The eGreat EG-M33H-DVBT combines a HDTV tuner with the standard features of a network media device. If a SATA Hard drive is installed internally, PVR functionality is made available. (Note: Only Hard Drives formatted with EXT3 file system will permit 'write' changes. NTFS formatted drive will be read only. HDTV is still available if no HDD is installed)

The device's top level menu offers a choice of Video, Music, Photo, HDTV and Setup.

A blue LCD display is present on the front of the device which displays the current time and what 'mode' the device is currently in. This display can be turned off via the remote if required.

NMT Applications CAN NOT be installed on the device and whilst it has a network interface, it does not seem to offer any network based services.

Clarificaion on above: The network interface can be used to stream media, however the device does not provide any server functionality
