Only the signal level can be obtained - "Service" "Right Arrow" "Down Arrow" "Signal" - for the usual owner this info would be useless as the box automatically tunes to channels from info within the data broadcast with the EPG

You cannot
can I remove HDD and box to work properly
On some versions of the firmware it is possible although you will not get an EPG (except Now and Next) as it is downloaded to the HDD - try it and see if yours will.
