TOPFIELD TF5810PVRT TWIN TUNER FREEVIEW PVR - 500G £199.99 inc del at UKDVDR


£199.99

FOUND BY: Newbold 4 months, 1 week ago

[See post immediately below for Topfield 5800, which might be a better bet]

Topfield's PVRs are synonymous with technical sophistication and this "Toppy" really does raise the bar. Featuring twin digital tuners and a huge 500GB integrated hard drive, the Topfield TF-5810PVR provides you with a host of viewing options. You can watch one channel whilst recording another, watch two channels simultaneously using the picture in picture mode, record two channels whilst watching another and even record two channels whilst watching a previously made recording. Along with an easy to use Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), the flexibility that the TF-5810 gives you is truly remarkable.

from what I understand the 5800 is better than the 5810, despite the 5810 being the later model.

Also, if you buy a topfield this website is a MUST: http://toppy.org.uk/

The 5810 seems to suffer from poor build quality so might not be the best option for a PVR

I have had both and can tell you for a fact that the 5800 has crap picture quality compared to the TOPFIELD TF5810PVRT and as for build quality they are both about the same.

While the 5800 doesn't have HDMI like the 5810, it is able to output a pretty good component video picture using an appropriate SCART to component lead.

Good to hear from someone who has both units, what is your view on build quality, the reports seem to indicate its not a very robust unit.

I am sure many usability problems can be overcome by firmware updates, but that does not address build quality.
