I'm well aware of what it does. The "special function" was referring to the fact that it removes all the on-screen overlays and allows you to watch/record other things whilst the back-up is playing.

I agree that it would be nice to be able to plug the TV Drive into your home network and be able to browse/watch/copy the .mpg files on the harddrive from any connected PC. It's probably technically possible with the current box. But as Spiderplant says, it would be commercial suicide for NTL to enable such an option.
