Topfield TF5800 Freeview+
Family life does have an intimate relationship with the T.V, but the best programs are mostly aired at the same time forcing you to choose or different family choices clash causing friction.
Yes, you can invest in a Sky+ box, but you have to keep paying for that even after purchasing one. You can get an additional Freeview box, with an impressive range of digital channels. But you can't pause/rewind live TV, record two channels simultaneously with that, can you? Well, you can with the Topfield TF5800 PVR.
This ingenious unit is essentially two Freeview digiboxes and a multifunctional 160GB hard drive in one. This means that as well as receiving all the free to air digital channels you can do all the Sky+ recording tricks without any subscription fees or unsightly dishes.
Using the Topfield you can record two Freeview channels at the same time whilst watching two others simultaneously (picture within a picture-style) as well as pause and rewind live TV. Perfect if you need to answer the phone or make some tea.
You can even record and link an entire series using the Topfield's timers. All you do is hit a couple of buttons and the Topfield will automatically record every episode of your favourite show, until you tell it to stop. Think of it as Freeview+. And with a whopping 88 (or 130) hours of recording time, you can store an immense backlog of shows and movies but thats not all.
The Topfield can also be connected to your PC via USB 2.0. As well as periodically upgrading software this allows you to transfer stored TV recordings to your PC where you can burn them to DVD. You can also transfer downloaded MP3 files from your PC onto the Topfield's hard disk.
Further, the TF5800 outputs up to three programmes (including recordings and live transmissions) simultaneously via its twin RF outputs and scart socket and allows user-developed application programmes - or "TAPs" - to be added via USB2, increasing features and functionality beyond the already impressive array on offer and enables limitless software control possibilities.
We don't only have the Topfield on demonstration. Most of our staff own and use the extensive features that make this a must have addition to your home entertainment system so you can be assured of first hand advice concerning the 'Toppy'
