Topfield vs DGTEC PVR?

[dafi]

Hi,
I have a friend who is looking to buy his first HD PVR. He has narrowed the choice down to Topfield TF7100HDPVRt and DGTEC HD320PVR. The DGTEC is selling for about $400 whereas the Topfield is over $600.

I am a Topfield fan but haven't used this model. On paper both models look very similar although I can't see any mention of an Ethernet interface on the DGTEC (for me this would be a show stopper).

Can anyone offer any comments based on experience? Any other reason to explain the big price difference?

Usability of either model, support issues etc.

topfield is ok, the dgtec will be lucky to last a couple months lol used to deal with them, very slow and bound to break down

i'm a fan of Nextwave pvr 6990

its a 320gig pvr, twin hd tuners, rock solid performance & reliability, adjustable "ad skipping" increments, good remote, & good interface.

only -ve about them is no wireless or usb connectivity.

it uses the fta guides, but it does that very very well.

cheers
adam.
