I'm giving this a cautious five stars. I bought a refurbished product that looks and works like brand spanking new. Am extremely happy with it so far. My only reserve is whether it will continue to work perfectly for a number of years--I've only used it for a couple of weeks. Time will tell. I love being able to export recordings, a feature I've not had with previous PVRs.

Counting the hand piece that came originally with the Topfield this is my 3rd. Each time different buttons failed to work. I wonder how long this one will last. The buttons are too small and hard to read unless there is perfect light. Buttons have multiple functions that can be confusing when something needs to be done with the hand piece. The Topfield is a good product that is badly let down by the sub standard remote hand controller.

I own three of this particular Topfield TRF-7160 model. Twin-tuner, Quad-record, Series-record, Archive capability, Internet connectivity. Advanced features make this a brilliant and versatile, if quirky, PVR. It enables local storage and preservation of rare prized content which even in these times of always-on streaming is often desired. Create and name endless folders and move content around within them for customised archiving. Ad-skipping on playback can be customised. Bookmarks added to program files enable pinpointing of scenes. In addition, many TAP files (Topfield Application Programs) are available from enthusiast blogs and forums which, when installed, add custom features to enhance functionality even further. Generally fitted with 500GB hard drives as standard - usually Western Digital. However, although undocumented, the hardware supports up to 2TB drives without issues, as long as AV-specific drives are used. The supplied remote control isn't the most robust out there, but is versatile and perfectly durable under normal usage. In the event of damage or failure, identical third-party replacements are abundantly available on eBay for around $20. Naturally, any device as feature-packed as this has a learning curve. Some behaviours are quite eccentric and can be initially puzzling, but once mastered and understood, the machine is beautifully intuitive and responsive. I've bought two of mine in as-new condition VERY cheaply on eBay from people who perhaps hadn't taken the time to learn their quirks, and possibly sold them off thinking the devices were faulty. But for the genuine video enthusiast, this machine is well-worth the time investment to master and will deliver reliable, plentiful rewards. **I should state here that I'm NOT affiliated with the company in any way, and am purely a dedicated user and long-time fan.Read full review

I bought this PVR after reading reviews of some well known brands and finding that Topfield seemed to be well liked. Our previous PVR was a real dog, a Yess brand so I was pleased to find this one was a huge improvement. The Topfield was easy to set up and the remote control straight-forward to get to know. AT 500 Gb the HDD is not as big as the one in the Yess (1 Tb) but it is plenty big enough for us as we don't record movies etc to keep. We delete programs once we've watched them. I really like the Intelligent Record facility where the machine will record a program you select then automatically record any further programs with the same name in the future. Dislikes? none of importance except the pointless bright blue light behind the power button whether the machine is on or in standby mode. I disliked it to the point of removing the top cover and the front panel board and removing the 2 LED's thus saving the wasted standby power of these bright LED's.Read full review
We have had a Topfield Digital Receiver for a number of years & as such its probably fair that the remote has worn out. We ordered and received a replacement remote control in good time. the remote works perfectly, as it should. Is it good valve, well it seems its quite a simple remote and many opinions suggest that its over price. Is it of good quality, well only time will tell that. So far so good.
