It has video output via a single HDMI socket and analogue component video.

What is HD ?

Frequently asked Questions about Hirschsprung's Disease
HD is a shorter way of saying/typing Hirschsprung's Disease. I don't know if that is how they do it in the medical field, but some of us who have it kind of adopted the short version since we say it/type it so much. To get a better idea on what Hirschsprung's Disease is please visit my other page that has the definition of it.

What if I have an amplifier between my Sky+ box and where I want to use the Sky controller?

Controlling Sky or Sky+ from your PC - FAQ
Providing the amplifier supports 'IR backchannel', 'IR passthrough' or 'magic eyes' you won't have a problem. The amplifiers made by tvlink are highly recommended.

How does the controller connect to the sky box?

Controlling Sky or Sky+ from your PC - FAQ
The controller connects to the port labelled 'RF 2' or 'RF out 2'. This port usually also has a label reading '9V DC 75mA'. Unfortunately none of our controllers will work with any of these boxes. The UK cable companies supply boxes that can only be controlled by infra-red.

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.
