I took back 3 units playing such games. If this is a settop box I have found them to be very flakey items. **** Smith has replaced them and I have upgraded twice now. The best so far is a Topfield TRF7160. The Topfield TRF-7170 is a unit that specialises in digital TV recording. It has two tuners and a 1TB hard drive, and it can record up to 4 program streams from two channels simultaneously.
Topfield Topfield is a South Korean company that makes home video and audio electronics. Though it's had its ups and downs in Australia, many still rely on the PVRs and other devices to watch TV. You can find plenty of devices to choose from, both pre-owned and new, when shopping for Topfield products. Home Satellite TV Receivers allow you to record live television programs for playback at a later time. Newer models record in MPEG-4 HD and have hard drives large enough to allow you to store up to 5,000 television programs. A practical feature for parents, child filters help you manage what your kids watch when you're not around. Furthermore, some receivers come with Android support so that you can share live TV or download a program to your phone or tablet.

Digital Set Top Boxes Before digital TVs became common, digital set top boxes were popular to allow you to watch digital broadcasts through your old TV. Nowadays, they are not so common as they do not automatically include a hard drive for recording shows. If you have a digital set top box from Topfield and want to be able to record shows, you can use a USB drive. PVRs and Hard Drive Recorders are actually branded as personal video recorders (PVRs) by the company. These devices can record both standard and high definition television broadcasts. Many of these PVRs also support Android, but you can also use their software to transfer the recording to a computer.
Open API for Creating Applications One unusual feature of Topfield is their open API (application program interface) that allows users to create apps that can go beyond the standard functions of their digital TV products. In fact, many users have created applications buyers can use in most Topfield PVR models. If you are not looking to write your own apps, you are sure to find some useful ones.
Hi there, My mother has a Topfield trf7160, and she reports that it is not recording properly anymore. For the last few weeks all new recordings are playing back choppy - constantly jumping forward and skipping sections of program. Is this likely to be a faulty hard drive? I gather old recordings are ok. Should also clarify - reception is fine. It's still on the original firmware V1.02 may 10 2010, so I will upgrade that today, but I'm thinking it's probably a hardware issue? Is it worth trying to get it fixed, or do we cut our losses and buy a new one.

I feel like between for myself and my folks, I'm buying a new PVR every year! Cheers, nettle Edited November 27, 2011 by nettle.

I feel like between for myself and my folks, I'm buying a new PVR every year! Cheers, nettle Sounds like fragmented recordings on the HD. Suggest defrag and or reformet of the drive. Other users have had the same issues with this model (and others). The Topfield forum has threads about it and what others have done. There is some commentary that the next firmware release will fix the problem. Apparently the files themselves are normally viewable without the skipping on a PC, and on the PVR itself if you delete the.inf and.nav files that go with the main recording file.
These solutions may not be much help to your mum though and shouldn't be necessary. I find that any problems I have with my 7000, are solved usually by powering down and re-booting.
Haven't had a glitch for months and the last time I did, it was solved with a format and re-install of the firmware. The old one has gone, but the new one is very active - you need to register (join) to gain access. I'm not saying I agree with this policy, but is the way they do it. They really hide their light under a bushel. You can't even see there are any posts, and it says at the bottom 'Our users have posted 1 Posts in 1 Topics in 1 Forum(s)', hence I gave it a miss! EDIT - fancy that, it tells me that my username is taken - D'oh again - seems I am a user after all and had forgotten about it.
