It has a digital video recorder, an online radio station tuner, a music and movie player, an image viewer and the like.

GB-PVR supports a wide range of analog and digital TV tuner cards from popular brands like Hauppauge, Adaptec, ATI, Conexant, Pinnacle and more. It also supports most IR remote control devices.
