Product Survey: Multimedia Hard Drives

The eGREAT EG-R1 is perfectly compatible with all HD video formats. Network connectivity means it should play files from your computer. Is this enough for it to lay claim to a place in the competitive multimedia box sector? The box looks nice from the outside. Its brushed aluminium shell is robust and well finished. There's no control screen at the front so you'll have to turn on your TV to listen to music. Handling The remote that comes with the box is made of cheap quality plastic. Nevertheless it handles quite well and the buttons are well positioned, though the navigation interface is poor. Once again, its the standard interface we've seen so much on products based on Realtek chips. The manufacturer hasn't put anything extra on top and you're left with something that doesn't make the most of an HD TV. What's more it's impossible to display photos in a folder in miniature form. Nor can you display a video jukebox (individual film cards and series with jacket and synopsis). A very basic, wooden interface overall. The chip used is the entry level Realtek HD chip, the RTD1073. While it offers plenty of compatibility it's sometimes limited with larger bandwidth video. Upwards of 30 Mbps and you get jumps and glitches.
