Re: TopupTV PVR Coming...



Am I right in thinking Topup TV is subscription only?

works.  It's good quality, and you can pull the recordings off and
convert to another format for viewing on the move or whatever.  The
season passes are crude (text matching), but that's a limitation in
the Freeview EPG.  You can use software on a host PC to do proper
season passes.

I ever bought.  She hates the fact that Toppy has replaced it.  It's
more because the Tivo interface was so good, rather than the Toppy
one being bad.  I use MyStuff, which has a Sky+ interface.  I like
it.  Rows of channels and time increasing to the right.  Arrow
buttons select the program, then either OK to watch it, REC to
record it, or SLOW for a season pass (it doesn't have a suitable
button for season passes).
