Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Purchased for $600 in 2009, this product has been a problem. After 18 months of ordinary domestic use, minor problems such as newly recorded programmes began dropping off list. In Nov, 2011 it stopped loading altogether. A fault (L330) was diagnosed....
When it worked it was ok.
Programmes lost off recorded list; Would not load to operate any functions. Useless.
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Got this for higher hard drive capacity than my Strong SRF 549 PVR, assuming that the tuner quality would be in the ball park. I've since gone back to the Strong as the tuner in the Topfield didnt cut the mustard at all. Certainly not 'top of the...

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Bought this PVR as Xmas gift for my partner in 2009. Has not worked properly since I bought it. Has been under repair 4 times, with 3 attempts at replacing the motherboard. Didn't consistently record when set via timer. Lost saved files - couldn't...
large HDD
highly unreliable and not user friendly. User Guide was next to useless for troubleshooting.
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

First hard drive failure was fixed under warranty, but that took 6 weeks. The EPG is poor, and general user interface is poor. One annoyingly stupid feature is that if you (or someone else) set the timer to record a program, and are watching something...
Big hard drive
Have had 2 hard drives fail. User interface is poor.
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
We bought this recorder from oo.com.au cheap (repacked). It has a big hard drive and you can add another external hard drive. Can watch one channel while recording another. Can pause and rewind/fast foward live tv. Overall, pretty good for what we paid.
Relatively easy to use. not as expensive as some other brands. Big hard drive
Does seem a little cheap in some areas; particularly the circular button on the front of the device that changes channel/volume. My 9 month old loves to touch it and I'm sure it's going to be broken in no time because it's quite plasticy. Menus could...
