Topfield 5800 PVR HDD Recorder

My thoughts...

Manufacturer info
The TF 5800 allows you to view and record digital TV channels easily, via an ordinary television aerial. You can receive all the Freeview channels broadcast in your area, which includes a range of digital radio stations too. In addition, with a small subscription module, you can access some additional channels from pay TV broadcasters.

This PVR allows you to record two different programmes simultaneously, and even to play back existing recordings while you're making new ones. With its large hard drive, there's plenty of space for all the shows you want to watch, and the built in electronic programme guide (EPG) makes it easy to find programmes and schedule automatic recordings.

As well as recording and playback of TV programmes, it has plenty of other features. You can pause TV when the phone rings, for example, or rewind a sports match to watch someone score a second time. Channels can be arranged into groups of 'favourites,' and there are other useful features like picture in picture, MP3 playback, interactive services and even a link to your home computer via USB.
