Can I record from Sky or my cable box with the Toppy?

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Like other Freeview PVRs, the TF5800 can only record from the built in tuners. It cannot record a signal from the SCART socket onto the hard disk. The same is true of the satellite models from Topfield. And while the satellite models will be able to record from your existing dish, you cannot use them to record channels that rely on a Sky viewing card, since the necessary CAM is not available. If you want to record from Sky One, you need a Sky+ box, or a PVR from your cable TV company.

Can you catch HD from someone else?

Frequently asked Questions about Hirschsprung's Disease
HD is not transferable like the flue. In my opinion I feel that it is hereditary through genes. Many doctors say that's true then there are some that say it is just luck of the draw.. In many cases there is a trace of HD in the family somewhere. It may have been four generations back, but it was still there. You have to remember that there was no name of Hirschsprung's Disease way back then. So there was no way to detect that it may be hereditary.
