Topfield TRF-2100 PVR set top box

 

A simple, speedy, bare-bones set top box

Simple operation and interface ; Fast, trouble-free navigation

Comparatively small hard drive ; Inferior fast forward/rewind speed ; No Internet capability

The Topfield TRF-2100 is a basic set top box, with dual TV tuners that let you record one program while you're watching another. It's simple, easy to operate and quick to respond to commands. We wish it had more hard drive capacity though, and the lack...

Good piece of gear

 

in connection and setting up and using. The unit does all I want and was simple to connect to both TV and Yamaha sound bar. I recorded my first program, (Outlander 2 hrs 20 mins on SBS), and added 10 mins padding start and finish. No dramas, don't be...

Useless waste of time and money. No service.

 

ems and the report stated it was a faulty HD, not likely. I was able to contact TF once more and agreed to send the device by mail - again. I have not heard from them and the 11 emails have gone unanswered. I did manage to find the service managers...

Avoid at all costs!

 

We bought one despite the bad reviews and it turned out to be a very bad decision. We had the first unit replaced under warranty due to freezing and refusing to boot up. Now the replacement unit is constantly going out of sync, screen goes black and...

Worst product I've ever owned

 

I've only had it for 5 months, and am fed up with all the intermittent faults. Sometimes the programme guide won't load up, sometimes says it's recording but it isn't. Freezes and won't go forward or backward, frequently now won't show the recorded...

Just wanted to add my disappointment

 

Same issues as everyone else. I just wanted to add to my vote of disappointment to this inferior product. While it says that the product has been discontinued by Topfield (& about time too), do not buy this product even if you see it in a clearance...

Fed up with 2100

 

All of the above, am going to return my 2100 and upgrade to 2600 and hope that I don't have these problems, at the moment My unit is stuck on where I was watching a recorded program, very disappointing as I will lose all that I have recorded. Also...

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Very, very disappointed.

 

I bought this PVR based on the good performance of my Standard Def Topfiled TF5000 I had had for some time before. It is rubbish. It lacks many of the features of the previous topfield, not only that it doesn't work properly half the time. Programs...
