The 7100 replaces the popular 7000 and many of the features its predecessor lacked are now included on the new model. It's nice to see Topfield has brought back the Wi-Fi and Ethernet network support, which was sorely missed on the 7000. The larger hard disk storage equates to around 172 hours worth of SD recording, or 43 hours of HD content. The twin HD tuners mean you can record one program, while watching another and the 7100 has a new "trick mode" up its sleeve — which gives you one-touch recording, timed recording and touch shifting. Useful features for the more "involved" TV watcher. Less
