The Topfield TRF-7160 is a versatile PVR with two digital TV tuners and a 500GB hard drive; it can record up to four TV shows at once. It also has network connectivity and a USB port, so you can get recordings off it and also put DivX, Xvid, MP3 and JPEG files on it. Some of its interface needs work, but overall it's an easy to use PVR that's well worth considering.
