Can a Toppy do this?
Hi all,
Thinking about ordering one of these beasts! Would you experts mind answering the following queries? Can you: Re-order channels Re-name channels Surf "now and next" through all channels without changing the channel you are watching I have heard that you can search for programs in the EPG with JAg's TAP - can you search your archive too? How do you enter search terms without a keyboard? Can you get a keyboard for the Toppy?! How responsive is the channel change? How robust is the box to interference in the signal? I get sporadic interference from my central heating, could this crash the box during a record? How impressed are your mates when they first see what it can do?!!

HTH Captain747480 Thanks for your detailed answers! I currently have an i-player, and each time the thermostat in my central heating trips, I get a small amount of "digital interference" - blockiness, slight jerk in sound. How well does the toppy handle mild interference like this? Apart from this I get perfect reception on all MUXes. The Toppy seems like the PVR to get, especially as i-players are going for 70quid on e-bay, to offset the cost! The only decision I still need to make is silver or black?! |

Occasionally I get bits of interference on live or recorded programs but nothing that's caused me too lose a recording.

Cheers, now which looks cooler, silver or black? Oh, damn it, silver will do - it's in stock in ED - I'll have the bad boy by next week if all goes well! |
