It's a twin tuner Freeview PVR Topaz.
I love mine, have had it for about 3 years I believe, or maybe four.
I'm not sure the woman guest knew what she was talking about really.
Most of the TAP's that you can add to the Toppy (to give other functions) are free via the Topfield forum.
You can get one or two other alternative EPG's (I use EPG Navigator).
I wouldn't be without Quick Jump which is totally configurable and allows for jumping over ad's, it's not fast forwarding so it's instant (you need to know roughly how long they last, i.e. I'm a Corrie watcher and recorded from ITV 1 between the two halves my red button is set for 4 mins 10 seconds), green is set for a minute, yellow for 30 seconds and blue for 15 seconds back.
