Topfield 5000pvrt-bp has twin SD tuners to record two channels at once and then even watch a recorded one at the same time. You can also record HD broadcasts but the unit will not decode them. Thats what your HD LCD TV is for.

Very easy to use unit with a 120GB hard drive, this is upgradeable. You can even change the applications this unit runs by downloading programs of net. There are great upgrade hacks out there called Taps.

Why $$$ for twin HD tuners when all you really want to do is record the digital signal and play it on your HD TV.

Something to think about.
Highly recommended.

ur box wont decode it coz its a standard def box. also if u spent the dollars on a high def tv then u should spend the dollars and get a high def box. channel ten is now broadcasting true high def 1920 X 1080p and channel nine is about to do the same thing as well

99% of units out there have a code on the HDD to prevent you from just swapping out the drive inside, much the same idea as what the X-Box has, there are 1 or 2 units around that dont have this, a few of the Teac models for example.
So if you swap out the hard drive in a unit that has the coded setup, and put in another drive, it will NOT work, whats more, the drive you pulled out, wont work for any other process.

I have two $1000 HD toshiba in lounge room for the rear projection and $160 HD digitech in kitchen for the lcd and both just as good as each other if anything the cheaper ones remote works better.

the cheaper one has more conections on it including dvi etc etc

so in that case i woudn't see the point in spending big dollars

The picture quality is also affected by the type of aerial you have and the type of aerial cable used. RG6 is the best cable to use. The link to the DTV forum is a good site to found out more.

so very true when i first moved into the house i replaced all the antenna wire through out the house even from the antenna to the wall plate.

i have it looped through the foxtel box and then off to every tv in the house
and the signal is 100% rg6 is defiently the way to go.. and well thats pretty much all most places sell now.
