We finally decided to take the plunge and between us bought a PVR and went for a Topfield, I am upgrading the EPG using the TAP, Topfield application system, using a window box as a quick fix for now. The EPG is hard to read and there are some much better and less cumbersome EPG's available for free.
The cool thing about Topfield is the TAP and PC interface and a community of code contributors, some releases are free some are not. I see that there are some options out there to use Linux, perhaps with a secondary ethernet converter or even build a headless low power Mini ITX box permanently attached to the PVR and network instead. Potentially I could log in to the connected Linux box from anywhere and schedule uploads and downloads of past TV broadcasts and items broadcast online as well as use the music file capabilities. If someone here uses Linux to regularly access, maintain and transfer files to and from a Topfield PVR I would be interested to hear how?
