All you guys seem to appear to know only to well where to spam, but offer
bugger all assistance.
What a mob of low life leeches you are.
I would buy bugger all from low life spammers like you.

Are you the most expensive overpriced website on the internet?
I would comfortably say you are, but could not prove it as your website is
not completely working.
Find somebody who knows how to build a proper functional website.

Why dont these things have component or dvi connections ?

Strikingly similar to the topfield units though bit cheaper ?

Are they made by the same host manufacturer ?

When is a HD unit coming out with component or dvi connections ?

Except this one cannot record two channels at the same time.

No.

I don't understand with these, how you can record up to 40 hours, but only time shift up to 60 mins. I saw a similar unit that is the same, and it only allows time shift of 90 mins.
Why not the ability to time shift up to the full hard disk capacity?
Why a limit of 60 or 90 mins?

Limits are good, you don't want to fill up the HDD with timeshift and stop
your favourite recording starting because of it. I find the good use of
the timeshift with the Toppy is if I just missed something, or somthing that
just happened it is so good it is worth saving to HDD, then I can rewind the
small way in the buffer and watch (or record in the 2nd example) a piece of
the timeshift buffer. In this case, a smaller one is better as it means
the HDD doesn't keep seaking new bits to record the buffer (so can recycle
HDD space when fixed) and a few other small advantages like this.
I know the Topfield is the same (60mins timeshift buffer), but you can
timeshift a recording if you wish, so if you want to timeshift a 5 hour
program, you can hit the record button and edit the record time to 5 hours,
then FF/RW to your hearts content anywhere in that 5hour "buffer" while
recording. Presumably even the Strong and the Opentel will let you do
this.

Thanks tony_h,
That makes sense now, I didn't realise that the 'time shift' was going all the time, so that you could rewind a part that just happened etc.
I was thinking it was more like a 1 touch record on a VCR.
It sounds a lot better....

The Strong 5390, in an effort to quash the bugs of the 5290, works a bit
like the way you describe. But the Topfield has an always running buffer
(which gets lost if you channel change, pull up recordings, pull up the
recording menu etc mind you) but is *very* handy if you didn't quite hear
something, or someone talked over something critical etc, then you can
rewind to catch that section again. The 5390 sux in this respect (their
"timeshift" is only in hindsight you hit the record, and/or maybe the
pause).
I don't know how the Opentel does it, but you would presume a bit more like
the Topfield than the Strong.
