Topfield TF4400PVRt

The TF4400PVRt from Topfield is a good Standard Definition set top box that boasts great picture quality and is easy to use, but only contains an 80GB...

Great picture quality, Dual tuners

No HDMI or optical audio connections

Another solid offering from Topfield that does all the basic functions very well, although it lacks some advanced connectivity options.

Bad

If it was reliable I'd love it. It has excellent tuner sensitivity and discrimination and locks in more stations that a Wintal that I have. The remote is a bit obscure but better than the Wintal and fine with a little bit of familiarization. The units...

Twin tuner, easy record from EPG, excellent tuner performance, fairly intuitive remote use after a few minutes familiarization.

Poor manual, so far two units have given trouble - first replaced under warranty and it took weeks, the second and current unit is exhibiting the zero MB file problem and I can't upgrade the firmware because I don't have and can't get locally a serial...

OK

For the price - this is a pretty decent buy and I've been quite happy with mine. But it's no Foxtel IQ. If you're looking for a basic twin tuner PVR then look no further. But make sure you pick it up for under $200.

It's cheap - you can pick it up for around $150 on eBay.

Image quality isn't great - much poorer than Topfield's cheapo 4000 box. The remote isn't difficult to learn, but it's hardly intuitive either. No USB means it can be tricky to update the firmware (you need a PC with a serial port).
