Topfield TF 4000 PVR Free-to-Air receiver

 



A great quality PVR decoder with built in hard disk and twin tuners, so you can record on one channel while you watch another! Comes included with Irdeto 2.06B CI CAM. Equpped with ultra low noise Seagate U5 HDD (40Gb): up to 30 hours of high quality video recording. Supports various timeshifting options (pause, ad skipping). Has NLE (non-linear video editing) feature.

Two CI slots are suitable for any Common Interface compatible modules, including the famous Magic Module.

We have to stress out that you have to buy a twin LNB to enjoy independent zapping during recording. On the other hand if you have two LNBs you can connect them without DiSEqC-switch - each LNB will have its own tuner.

DVB cards give you satellite TV and digital tv in a way you never could! A single DVB PCI card on your PC can offer more features than a Personal Video Recorder PVR like Tivo or DishPlayer, scheduling and recording of satellite TV and digital tv shows in digital quality.

Imagine having access to almost all Free-to-Air satellite feeds in digital quality with a DVB PCI card that can connect to your big screen tv and the digital coax connection on your sound system to receive AC3 Dolby Surround Sound.

Maybe you want to record shows and save them. With a DVB card, it's simple. Schedule and record, then burn on DVD if you like. Or maybe you want to view up to six satellite channels at once. A DVB card let's you do this.

The software for DVB cards such as the Hauppauge Nexus-S, Nova, Nova CI and Twinhan (VisionPlus) cards is simple to use, including profiles for almost every satellite around the world.

Satellite tv is moving to the desktop, and offering you features that can only be found on pricey satellite receivers.
