Topfield TRF-7170

Have been installing these for customers for nearly 4 years, topfield hands down the easiest mots reliable and easiest to use box I have ever dealt with. Have installed some of their most recent boxes however and have no idea why they have decided to...

Top field 7170 is hopeless. And the Customer Helpline never answers even after hours on hold. I will never buy one again. The set recordings don't record about 50% of the time. Rubbish product and waste of time and money. And being on hold dozens of...

Have had 7100 for 5 years and still running well. Later added 7170 for 1Tb storage. Ran OK for about 2 years but now no longer reliable. Erratic recording of pre-scheduled program as sometimes only records around 25 - 30% of program. On playback,...

I have two dead unit over four years with same issue, hard driver dead, i think they are rubbish products, it does loose the programmed channel, freeze and some channel come black, have to switch it off then turn it on again, now i bought the third one...

Second Topfield I have bought, didn't have any problem getting connected and working well for 2 years then stopped working. Went back to where I have bought it and was told that is probably just how long they work for, bought another one but after 13...

Cannot believe the price is so high ($395) for a product of such poor workability. This was a gift that I would not recommend (prefer $347 Panasonic for ease of use and set up). It is worse than a recorder I owned 20 years ago (in terms of technology)....

Worked reliably for a time.. then yesterday... poof... blue smoke pours out of the front and the unit is fried. Think the main circuitry on the front display is toast and the hard-drive smells like charcoal chicken. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
