http://tap.topfield-europe.com/firebird/TAPtoDate.zip

23 December 2015

TAPtoDate is briefly experiencing problems at its present hosting site. This means that it will not work at the moment.
This situation has occurred due to the amount of traffic being generated to the site. More information will be provided as it comes to hand.

Also SmartEPG (SE) has been updated to V7.1 and is downloadable as an install TAP from the usual source, but not TAPtoDate.

14 December 2015

Looks like TAPtoDate is back and available here: http://moviecutter.dashosting.de/TAPtoDate/ - You will need to re-run the installer available on that site.

December 2015

A new firmware for the TRF-2200 is available on the Topfield Australia www site (version TF-AHR 1.00.02 dated 2015-11-24). Firmware adds pre- and post-padding (up to 30 minutes). There is no indication what bug fixes, changes or improvements are included in this firmware.

November 2015

It is confirmed that the new models are as below. See the comparison chart for more details.

Also, the Nine Network have started transmitting their primary channel in HD on Ch 90. This will require a rescan on the PVR. Only PVRs that support MPEG4 will be able to pick up the new channel. Channel 9 will continue to transmit the same content in SD.MPEG2.

September 2015

There appears to be some new Topfield models: TRF-5300/5310/5320, and TRF-2200. As more info comes to hand we'll expand on each model in separate pages.

24 January 2014

Firmware with compile date of 02 December 2014 for the TRF-2470 (1.10.00) and the TRF-7160 (1.09.00) [only for system ID 33021] posted on the Topfield Korea www site.

20 January 2014

Firmware with compile date of 10 January 2013 for the TRF-2100 (1.10.00) posted on the Topfield Korea www site.

01 December 2013

There may be a problem with firmware placed on the Topfield Korea www site this week. There has been one report of a 7100+ being bricked during firmware installation (system ID 32030). The issue has been reported to Toppro and Topfield Korea. The procedure for resurrecting a 'bricked' Toppy is described here.

29 November 2013

Toppro/Topfield Australia www site has been down at least since 9.30 am. Back again some time on morning of 30 November.
New firmware for 7100+ on Korean Topfield www site (version 1.10.00 29).

28 November 2013

New firmware for the 7260 (1.01.00 dated 18 November 2013) and 7170 (1.03.00 dated 19 November 2013) posted on Korean Topfield www site in last 24 hours. Hopefully new firmware for other models will follow.

01 November 2013

The TRF-2400 is apparently shipping with a new RCU. There are reports on the DTV Forum that this RCU does not work properly with some TAPs as it uses a different code for the Red function key. Apparently it is relatively easy to fix. jdaSkip now has a compatible version. It is designed for both the7260 and the 2400.

06 October 2013

Daylight saving kicks in. If you are running firmware Nov 2011 or later and use the free-to-air EPG and have Daylight Saving setting as "On" the Toppy will pick up the change in time from the transmission signal and, apparently, will automatically adjust the EPG data and timers. If you use IceTV EPG data the situation is more complex. Detailed instructions are given on the IceTV www site. This procedure is an "abundant caution" approach. Changing the daylight saving setting is only necessary if you resend timers before daylight saving kicks in.

14 September 2013

Anniversary of build date of "current" TRF-7160 firmware (1.08.00). Broken TAP support still inflicted on owners.

22 August 2013

12 June 2013

User on DTV posts about a new Topfield model being sold through ebay. It is called the TF-T6000 and is being described as the new flagship model in Topfield's PVR lineup.

23 May 2013

Topfield website returns to operation but all download links are broken.

Early March 2013

Topfield's website and forum become unavailable. This starts some speculation that the local Topfield distributor (Toppro) is going out of business or that Topfield Korea is looking for a new distributor.
