I sent two back.

Lots of issues listed elsewhere on DS, including a long, long wish list of problems and improvements that should have been addressed before it was rushed out.

Have a look at the Topfield 5800 with MyStuff 6 and you'll see a box that doesn't just 'work well', it's absolutely superb and MyStuff is written by someone in their own time.

Makes Humax's Freesat HD PVR look very much less than ordinary.
I know that this is a bit of Topic but I to have a Topfiled TF5800PVR (250GB model) and I am really happy with it.

It currently uses the standard epg but I have seen the My stuff 6 epg in use on You Tube and it look great and was very impressed wit it.

But I don't want to download something that will give my PVR problems because at the moment it works perfectly.

So I have a few questions about the MyStuff 6 epg.

How reliable and accurate is the My Stuff 6 epg?

What do I need to download other than the MyStuff 6 epg?

What cable do I need to download the software?

Haw do I go about downloading the software to my PC and then putting it on to my Topfiled TF5800PVR?

Click the download link in the middle of the page you've shown the link to and then follow the instructions. It's easy and you'll only need a standard USB cable.

Any questions you have should go to the MyStuff section of the Toppy Forum at http://forum.toppy.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=19 where you'll get all the help you need.

MyStuff will transform the Toppy...

Thank you all for the very kind help but I have a quick question. can I download the My Stuff 6 software to an external Hard disk drive or do I need to use my dads laptop?

Also how do I connect the hard disk drive or laptop to my Topfield and do I need to copy all of my recording over to my DVD recorder before installing the MyStuff 6 epg? (Don't want to loss my recordings)

Download to the laptop, then connect to the Toppy with a standard USB cable. No need to copy off your recordings prior to installing MyStuff unless you want to feel extra safe.

You really would be better off posting on the Toppy Forum I quoted previously.
