Frequently Asked Questions:

• How is this unit different from the E49 Media Tank?
  The Media Blitz provides support for more file formats and more languages for only half the size. Also, there's the addition of a USB host & slave port and eSATA host & slave port for more application and functionality.
• How do I setup/use/install/change...
  Simple, just open up the user manual! From changing the background to setting up network share, the Media Blitz's illustrated step-by-step instructions means you'll never have to deal with customer support.
• Can I use the Media Blitz without an internal hard drive?
  Absolutely. The internal hard drive option is just a luxury, feel free to watch all the movies on your PC directly from the Media Blitz.
• This product works on XP, but why can't I connect online when using Vista?
  The network sharing (Samba) via Vista has a high level of security and in most cases a username and password is required, unlike with WinXP. Users just need to enter the username and password for accessing the network share.
• Does this product work well as a HDD enclosure?
  Definitely, with support for up to a 2TB HDD, you can back up everything you want and more. The Media Blitz is also small enough to carry with you wherever you go, meaning you'll be taking this thing to your office in the morning and bringing it back at night.
