Good Points

I've had mine for nearly two years now and works brilliantly. All the major problems reported elsewhere had been ironed out through firmware updates. I bought a Panasonic model previously and it was rubbish. and returned it a week later. The Toppy is fantastic, you can record two programmes whilst watching a third!


Bad Points

You need to be a bit adept at connecting your Toppy to a PC for firmware/software updates (search for toppy forums on web) via a USB connector. Nothing complicated but if you can't program a VCR then you won't get the best out of this machine.


General Comments

The Topfield TF5800PVRS gives reliable programme recording, doesn't miss recordings - just make sure you're using the recommended software from the toppy forums. I have the 160Gb model and the disk is nearly full of recorded films/mp3 albums and photos to show guests etc.
