habol ko kasi sa m34a may promised ang egreat na may future DTS downmix support yan. yung m31a wala pa. and mas maliit yung m34a, hdmi 1.3 na and mas mura.

kung P8,000 sa group buy yan wow kukuha ako 3pcs!

richie of e-home had mentioned he may be willing to accommodate a group buy. not sure though how many units minimum. i've held it and it seems a well built unit. difference with the WDTV is the component out and LAN availability. plus you can use a sata internal drive directly though not internally (it has a regular sata port, not e-sata. you connect the drive while outside the unit).

                 Back view of the m34a. More featured than the WDTV with the
                        LAN input, SATA port (side), and RGB output.

I think just by calling EHome for the reservation will do, and schedule na lang with Gren for the time to pick up.  ;)

By the way, I think putting your name in the list will make it official that you we are included in the group buy.

Hey guys:

tagal ko na hindi nakabalik, he he.  anyway, confirming 8k group buy price.  once the stocks arrive, we'll consider the list final.  we're expecting stocks to be in either late this week or early next week.

no need to drop by sabay sabay (though that was what happened before with the 31b), i'll just go by what's listed.

good news pala: we just heard that the dts contract has been finalised, so the dts update (for all applicable nmts -- 31b/32b/34a) should be available by the next firmware update.

tawag nalang or sms if you've further questions (0917 7945003 / 7445923)

Lets wait for him to confirm na lang.

For those sure to buy, Please put your name in the list. Para mabilis umabot sa 30. he he.

Lets wait for him to confirm na lang.

For those sure to buy, Please put your name in the list. Para mabilis umabot sa 30. he he.

Gren, confirm mo na para mabilis na mag 30.  ;D

Are the issues from previous egreat models resolved already with this M34a? I Just want to clarify. TY

Post by: gren on May 28, 2009 at 04:33 PM
It shares the same firmware as the 31b, so whatever issues were resolved/unresolved still applies.  DTS (its lack and eventual upgrade) will apply to the 34a though.

hi guys:

please email to confirm, i'll need to get details (drives included as well as contact details).

pick up and pay at our shop: http://ehome.multiply.com/journal/item/45/Ehome_DirectionsMap

if there are more people interested, then we can start a second batch, but i don't think the price will get any lower :)  at least, not as substantial as it already is.

yup, this is the newest model of egreat, not necessarily the best, that's why its cheaper than the other egreats its because, it cant support an internal hdd. but aside from that it basically function like the other egreats. but for 7.5k, its a very good buy.  ;D

its egreat's take on the wdtv but it retained its network capabilities unlike the wdtv, no internal hdd, no network capability either. kaya mas mahal pa rin ng konti ang egreat. but defnitely more stable than wdtv.  ;D

You can connect a SATA drive to the sata port pero nasa labas yun sya. if you have the unit in a secure place, then non-issue yung hard drive.

Just got mine too yesterday, ganda!!!

No experience from other good NMTs, WD TV lang meron ako dati which I sold recently. 

Daming good features agad compared to the WD TV I had before:
Solid built
faster response of Menu, though slower start up time (non-issue for me)
Mybook external drive faster load time
better remote
better zooming options
sound quality (via analog stereo out, higher detail and no hiss)
SATA drive option
Included free HDMI and optical cables, but no free remote batteries
All files played are smooth! no pixelizations or stuttering which once in a while happened with my WD TV

More features that I haven't touched yet- DTS downmix future firmware update, Networking, torrent apps, other downloadable content, etc!

Bottom line sulit na sulit for P7500 group purchase buy! Thanks ehome for the wonderful deal! Nice chatting with you richie!

Initial impressions?

not used to the metal body, got worried at first because the unit gets hot waaay faster than my wd hd tv...  :o I'm coping by imagining that the casing is one big heatsink  ;D

pq SEEMS slightly more grainy than the wd, but it has none of the wd's pixelation bugs with fast moving scenes...  and colors are definitely more vibrant...

there has been one major hiccup so far though... i tried playing my big 1080p files first, and the m34a
would randomly skip and stutter with no sound... i've been informed by Richie that this can be resolved by formatting the drive to EXT3...  Suddenly regretting selling my other 1tb mybook last night... wala akong malipatan ng files before formatting  :P

Hi guys! I just want to share what i have accomplished with my NMT so far.


1) Ive backed up almost all my original DVD/Blu-ray/HD discs as well as that of my dad and brother's.

2) I tried installing the "jukebox filing system" and after several tiring hours (make that days), i have finally finished my struggle and am very happy with the results.

My collection which is also what you will actually see when you hit the HARD DRIVE selection in your NMT's main screen can be viewed here: WWW.JOMS.NET (http://www.joms.net)

Ext3 is a linux filesystem as NTFS is Windows'. Since Egreat is using linux as native OS, Ext3 drives should logically play much better than NTFS'.

Bro -- what iiinas referred to in this post i think was the WDTV and not the M34A. So though the M34A has no Internal HD, it still has the network capability. This is the reason of the slightly higher price.

What does this "more grainy" thing means sa pq? does it mean the the WDTV is better in pq?

Please take note of my use of "SEEMS"  ;D 

Here are my best attempts at elaborating on this:

Firstly, if you are defining PQ on a per frame basis, I would have to say yes, as far as initial impressions go, the WD was able to produce sharper frames.

*Just to have a bit of science behind it,  I played a couple of 720p and 1080p files on both the 34A and the WD.  Generally speaking, the dots (pixels?) that make up the pic frame SEEMED to be packed together more closely with the WD.

HOWEVER,  I don't just base it on the Frame sharpness.  It looked to me that the 34a was able to handle fast moving scenes. ( I'm assuming that some of you have also experienced pixelization around fast moving objects when using the WD)

I do have to say that unless you are very near the screen, the slight advantage of the WD is barely noticable.

 there is that issue with choppy play of large files for the egreat when the external drive is not formatted in the 34a's native/optimal format of EXT3.  I'll post as soon as I am able to reformat .

Thnks bro for this review. Another issue that needs discussion should be about NTFS VS. EXT3 on the M34A.

Moreover, will there be a problem on compatibility of EXT3 formatted HD if used on a windows based PC.

Does the eGreat have write access even if the drives are formatted in NTFS (a classic linux problem is writing to NTFS partitions)?  I ask this since it does have a torrent client and it would need to write the downloaded packets onto the external drive.

Verbl Kint, from what I know the egreat can only write to its internal drive (or in my m34a the SATA drive attached to the provided SATA cable) which the egreat formats to EXT3 upon installlation. It can't write to NTFS or FAT usb connected drives.

I THINK I was able to format my new 1tb mybook to EXT3 successfully today.  ;D The process ends up being relatively simple (2 small downloads, one iso cd burn, 1 format, with a total of 2 or 3 reboots) if you have a bit of patience.   ;) (I am admittedly a Linux virgin  ;D)

I'm in the process of transferring the contents of one of my NTFS mybooks to the blank EXT3 one in WinXP (ANTAGAL  :'()  However, I won't be able to test if I did it correctly in terms of egreat compatibility as I am currently TV-less.  :P  Once my new screen arrives, I'll post my observations.

At the very least, the drive is already in EXT3 format, and is detectable with read/write function in XP. (Please note that a free third-party open source driver is needed to be manually downloaded and then installed for Windows to understand the EXT3 format.) 

Once I confirm that the egreat has no issues with the drive, I can post the process for those who are interested...

got mine this afternoon. thanks richie and to your staff!  :)

used to to have the western digital hd tv player, medyo mas mabagal nga boot up ng egreat.  but it can play most of my files way way better. dvd menu is supported, pixelation in some "heavy" mkv is gone plus additional features not present in wd tv.  also the up coming dts down mixing capability is a huge plus (i dont have an avr to decode dts and i dont like converting files).

while i was trying to setup it up earlier, i used the hdmi cable that came with it.  walang audio na lumalabas sa tv (32inch sony s series) kahit ano gawin ko.  i checked the internet and read a post in networkmediatank.com forum to set m34a's output to 1080i, but no luck.  then i decided to use my hdmi cable i bought from cdr-king, gumana! yung difference lang ng cable is yung sa cdr-king may parang bilog malapit dun sa isang end while yung included the egreat straight lang sya.

wala pa kasing DTS down mix update kaya hindi pa gagana yan sir..
DTS will work only thru optical and HDMI(using a receiver)..pag rca ang ginamit wala siyang sound na lalabas..pag HDMI din connected to tv wala ding sound..

Bro loniticz -- whats the format of your HD? Ty ;)

my 320g passport is formatted using ntfs.

btw, I was able to check some more planet earth files. unfortunately i encountered stuttering and audio lost on the dreaded bird scenes.  the guy from ehome told me i can try to format may passport using ext2 and it will help to play the files property.  ill try to borrow a friend's unused external drive to try it out.

waaaa!!! delayed ulit ang firmware. sana lang paglabas flawless...  :)

guys question,

so basically what DTS downmixing is for users who does not have DTS decoders? ung mga users na walang high end sound system system and those who rely on TV speakers or 2.1 speaker system? and DTS downmixing means converting DTS to stereo?

so para sa mga mahihirap pala ito..hehehe.. ;D
naku sana marelease na to para magamit ko na Egreat ko.. by the way, kakabili ko lang guys, ng m32b..mas nagandahan kasi ako.. ;)

ok, since my tv will be arriving wednesday at the earliest, i tried out my egreat and ext3-formatted mybook with avshop's demo plasma in his shop (thanks marc!)  ;D.  I played a couple of movies including max payne, underworld, miII, and a dave matthews concert.  firstly, i breathed a sigh of relief the moment the 34a recognized the drive  :D  and i no longer experienced any of the skipping / choppy playback.   ;D the joy i felt was further enhanced by the output of the files as we were  also using the demo speakers + avr + amp that avshop had in his shop  ;D

I'll post a step-by-step account of how i formatted to ext3 if you are interested...

So i really have my HD formatted in EXT3. According to Richie in order to access the HD I have to install a free application on my desktop. Any link to that free software please.. ;)

just got mine recently. thanks sir gren.

coming from a wdtv, honestly i'm not impressed with the picture quality, it seems dark and some colors are off, some scenes also tend be a little grainy which i never experienced before ( watching the same content ) already tried my best to enhance the quality by adjusting the levels of the m34a and my pv80. i just can't seem to get a better picture quality which the wdtv gave. toggled between blu-ray, dvd and this and you can really see the difference. network connectivity is also a bummer especially for dummies like me.  :(

i guess the only thing that suffices is the dts downmixing which is great not to mention the hdmi, sata and optical cables that came with it.

pano setup ninyo sa M34a with hd connected using sata port?

gusto ko kasi gamitin yung power + sata port sa gilid, para less yung naka saksak sa outlet.  nagisip ko bumili ng hd enclosure tapos modify or tanggaling yung cover sa isang side para ma-expose yung power and sata port ng harddisk.

pero may nakita ako sa cdrking, silicon enclosure ng harddisk http://cdrking.com/local/products/index.php?action=&temp=2&typeno=6824425-652202-835025400-9162003&prod=Cd-r%20King&prodcode=1033095-466231-111267699-5966927 (http://cdrking.com/local/products/index.php?action=&temp=2&typeno=6824425-652202-835025400-9162003&prod=Cd-r%20King&prodcode=1033095-466231-111267699-5966927) kaso parang dirt magnet. nung pinabuksan ko sa tindera medyo madumi tapos hirap tanggalin nung alikabok.

Post by: jerix on Jun 17, 2009 at 10:11 AM
I just got my M34a last friday  ;D TY richie

Heres my initial impression:

The M34A the newest of the Egreat Family is about 6” x 4” x 2” in size and is very light. In its back portion from left to right are the following slots; power, HDMI, optical, component, composite audio/video, and the 2 USB slots. There are some holes in its side and probably these are holes intended for air. You can almost see from these holes all the internal parts of the gadget. Also located in the back portion of the device is the on/off switch. In its left side panel is an elongated hole for the SATA cable. There are not much good things to see in its front panel besides the little display window and some markings which will give the idea that it is 1080 capable and that the model is M34A.

Looking at the gadget without an idea what it does, you may not be impressed at all and probably you will end up thinking that it is just another project of students in a basic electronic class. The shiny black box is better looking I think. Anyway, very noticeable and with pride in one side of the box is the fact that this is MADE IN CHINA. Once you open the box you would see the small device. Taking the gadget off from the box, you will see the accessories and cables that come with it such as, the remote, power adapter, power cable, SATA converter cable, HDMI, Optical cable, and a software CD.

Connecting the Egreat and the 1TB HD to the rest of my HT is easy. After connecting this to the power outlet I immediately powered it on through the main switch at its back. The remote does not come with a free 2 pcs of AAA battery. So I had to pay my son to run for a battery in the sari-sari store not so near our house. While waiting for the battery, I immediately switched on my Panasonic AX100. In time when the 2 pcs of AAA battery were placed in the remote, the PJ was already full bright. The loading of the file in the M34A was not fast. It took about a minute before I can view and play with the menu. When the unit was tested in E-home, I had the settings saved so I did not do much more of the settings anymore.
This device I think is dependent mostly on the remote. For this reason I immediately thought of buying another remote just in case, if it is available in E-home.

Not so familiar yet with the remote, I just contented myself with the directional arrow and the enter keys. I tried to navigate slowly because I want to read all the settings I chose but since I could not memorize them all, I just pressed and work with the arrow and enter keys, at the end, I finally saw the title of the selected movie. I pressed the enter key and immediately, the “buffering” prompt appeared. For about 5 seconds the movie played.

I have been into bluray movies for quite a time and what I have in mind to compare with the M34A is the PQ of the bluray disc. I also have R1 and R3 DVDs and several DVD 9 bluray sidewalk discs (You know what discs are these), hence I may use my impression on these media as benchmark for comparing this to the PQ of the M34A. Personally if I rank these discs according to my liking, this is how I will rank them. Bluray; DVD9 sidewalk DVDs, R1, R3. I don’t know but based on the number of DVD9 sidewalk blurays I watched, in my AX100 PJ, it seems to me that these sidewalk bluray DVD9 that are made in China are so far better than many of the R1 collections I have. More if I have to compare these to R3 DVDs.

I do not have the ability to present a detailed comparison of the PQ of this device with the discs I mentioned like what we read in some reviews. There may be some information that I cannot mention. But I will try to present what is best better or good for me.

The movie playing was the Gladiator. Having now in mind the PQ of the discs I have mentioned, the video was generally impressive, although I failed to see the crispiness and the sharpness and detail that can be observed in bluray discs.  The remote has an option to go to a specific time of the movie, so playing with these buttons (0 + any number[ 1 represents 10 min/ 2 = 20 min, etc.]) it helped me navigate throughout the movie.

I tried and scanned some other movies and my impression is similar. The bluray is still the best in terms of PQ. Overall impression after scanning several movies is that the PQ of the M34A is somehow similar with the sidewalk bluray DVD9s. If the PQ of bluray discs is outstandingly best, the PQ of the M34a, like a sidewalk bluray, is outstandingly better. By the way just an additional info, while toggling on the remote I discovered that by pressing setup while the file is playing, a prompt to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast, etc of the movie will appear. Some of the movie files are dark so I had to adjust brightness appropriately. I can also adjust colors through the PJ, so this will not be a fatal issue.

One observation though, the PQ of animation movies like the Kungfu Panda is excellent. I have seen the bluray of the movie in my friends’ 42” Panasonic and with what I noticed I don’t have concerns with the detail and sharpness of the file. If there may be difference, it may not be the type of difference that is immediately observable.

Not so familiar with the use of optical connection in my receiver, it took me real bad time to set it up and accept digital audio signal from the optical cable.  After several liters of perspiration, at last I already can hear the audio signal on my 7.1 speakers as processed by my pioneer receiver. I am not so critical on the audio and not as much as the video part. Another thing, I really can’t hear any difference in terms of the AQ of the HD file on the M34A as compared to the AQ of all my discs. My Sony S301 can process True HD and can relay that signal to my receiver by analog but it is not a disadvantage if I use digital instead. Some reviews here indicate that the DTS of the Egreat is more subtle than the DTS on the disc, but as of this moment, I haven’t reached that conclusion yet. For me, they are all the same.

Until now I am still exploring possibilities through the remote.

like sir jerix mentioned the PQ is parang yung mga sidewalk dvds. generic na generic and dating. parang comparing nokia phones with those generic china phones, napapabili ka lang dahil sa features pero overall performance ay walang kwenta.

my apologies to other egreat owners pero this is how i really feel towards the m34a, hindi ako na satisfy sa picture quality. mas better pa picture quality ng wdtv less nga lang ang features.

baka naman lemon lang yung nakuha kong unit but i also asked the others who also came from wdtv....the same din ang napansin nila.

I did not expect this to be at equal level of PQ with the original bluray. But the PQ of movie files played by the Egreat is better than many of my R1 DVDs. I have 1 TB of files now waiting to be viewed which is almost equivalent to 100 or a little bit more movies. I am presently impressed with the benefits offered by the gadget, the PQ is more than acceptable to me and is enough reason to cut off some of my bluray orders. I still think though, that this is a good buy for me.

guys comment ko lang..this is HD for less..cannot match the quality of bluray..but still nice to watch..

-better than my R1 dvd's..than sidewalk dvd's or bd's..
-use nmt's for movies you don't want to collect..
-buy BD and BD player if you want to collect them..

-i have Iron Man and Ultimate Matrix BD..other movies i just watch with egreat.. 
-imagine buying a BD movie you haven't watched and it sucks..i can watch that mkv and delete after..

my opinion lang mga sir ha..

@jerix, there is no bluray version of gladiator, only capped HDTV (recorded from HD broadcast abroad).  That's why the PQ is not satisfactory. 

The best way to compare is to compare the same movies in Bluray, DVD9 dibidi, R1 and R3.  I haven't actually compare them but I'm confident Bluray is the winner.  I think the DVD9 Bluray that are being sold in the streets are DVDs encoded from Bluray rips (? or at least that's what they claim to be) so it's unfair to compare it to R1 DVDs.  In my observation, a DVD encoded from a Bluray source, if properly done, is generally better than a DVD since the Bluray has more detail to begin with and they only shrink it so as to be playable in DVD players.  But the shrink/encoded versions will never outrival its Bluray source.  Most importantly, buy the Bluray discs of your favorite movies.

In fairness to the extremely satisfied Egreat M34A owners... ;D

If you want to get real Bluray quality video and audio....go invest on a BD player and BD titles. 

If you want to maximize your HDTV and enjoy near-Bluray quality video and audio at a bargain price...then the Egreat M34 is for you...

hi guys,

is there a difference in PQ when watching a 720p/1080i MKV from a PC/laptop and from an m34a?

i'm currently using my laptop (connected to our LCD TV via RGB cable) in watching my MKVs, but i'm considering an NMT for that purpose, and it seems that the m34a is the cheapest route...

tnx in advance guys!!!

tnx in advance guys!!! 

the greatest advantage these nmt's bring to the table is convenience, and to some extent performance. for the 1080p files to really play smoothly using htpc requires quite a robust setup, which means a substantial cash outlay. an m34a  is just 7.5k and will play most 1080p's without a hiccup. it comes with it's own remote and is largely plug and play. imagine the abuse your pc/laptop takes connecting and disconnecting... unless you have a dedicated setup, which brings us back again to the issue of cash outlay.

after using a 34A for awhile here are the benefits i got that was important for me:

1) remote controlled power on and off - i did not realize not all NMT models had this feature, buti na lang sa egreat ako napunta

2) i can now watch HD TV eps or other vids bigger than 1gb (i used to use either my PS3 or DVD player to watch these vids so i was limited to watching low res vids.

The abuse that my lappy is getting is one of my primary reason for considering an NMT, but of course I want to know if the PQ won't degrade...
