    The Topfield TF5800 PVR is exceptionally reliable - looks good; has never failed unlike others I have tried.

    Bang on MyStuff+Logos and a few other TAP's and you have a dream freeview PVR. Seen some people slating the TF5800, well everyone is entitled to their own option but IMHO this is the best darn freeview PVR on the market. Download the tools available for it and your away!You will not be disappointed. ...

    If you can download and unzip a file on your PC then you have the skills necessary to upgrade this beauty. Freeview Play just isn't reliable, a Toppy with pre/post padding and AccurateBookmark wins every time!

    Very quiet - no fanGood size not bulky. Can be used with a computer. Equal to the Humax model. Good picture and easy to record. I was able to buy it for £64 from Dixons incl delivery. I like the volume control on the remote.
    EPG very efficient and now that the models are slightly reduced they ...

    The Topfield TF5800 PVR can record two programmes and watch a programme already recorded or live showing. Sometimes the epg only shows two programmes and blank for the rest of the day. Overall good performance and I would recommend.

    Everyone is using it and you need to buy two. Its just like a PC. Each person can have a yellow folder to store their films.

    Every now and then something comes along that isn't really that good, but it generates such a following from those that do like it, that it developes a kind of 'cult status'. The Citroen 2CV and Daniel O'Donnell both spring to mind!
    The Topfield TF5800 PVR is in that category. In its basic form it ...

    I did a lot of research before buying this box. The Toppy has the greatest number of features and capabilities, and can even be customised by down loading special software programmes from the web. The ability to record multiple programs at the same time, pause live TV, and automatically record progr ...

    Pre-amble:
    Before buying this I did lots of research online and practical. I spent some time playing around with the Humax my parents own and was very impressed. It was excellent and in the first instance was demonstrated to me by my mother, which shows how easy it is to use. I decided on the To ...
