 :) Hi I replaced the hard drive with an old 320gb seagate barracuda yesterday, everything works perfectly now.

Hi again, I was thinking the problem could be something to do with the hard drive, so I took it out and put it into a astone hard drive case and tested it with seagate sea tools. The drive checked ok but only showed up as 180gb instead of 1tb. Has anyone got any thoughts on this?
Thanks Terry

 :( Hi, as it turns out the firmware didn't fix it. I think my topfield is heading to the bin. Here is the link.    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ad358djlvv4tg9m/TRF2460%28AUST_32026%29-2013Jan07_v1.16.00.tfd?m


Hope it is more useful to you

 :) I emailed Topfield they sent me a link for jan 7 2013 TF-BCPF 1.16.00 firmware. This seems to have fixed the problem
Very happy Terry

Once again thanks. I have installed the oct 2012 firmware it still freezes and reboots with EPG downloads. I only use usb sticks rarely (only for firmware and the occasional movie). I don't have any taps loaded. The hard drive is fairly noisy when the EPG is being downloaded. I only use the topfield for recording and playback of TV shows. Any further suggestions?

 :) Thanks, With the date I was referring to April fools day! I have tried everything else you have suggested except the earlier firmware. I had previously installed a firmware from the europe site -  it was a disaster the topfield kept on rebooting and the harddrive kept on disappearing and I would have to re format.   I will give a earlier firmware a go. Once again Thanks Terry

Topfield / topfield 2460 freezing on EPG download

Hi I am after some help. My Topfield during playback freezes and sometimes reboots when ICE EPG is being downloaded. When the EPG is being downloaded the hard drive makes a grunting sound as if it is working overtime. To try and fix the problem I have tried swearing at it - didn't help! I have followed the instructions here: http://support.icetv.com.au/entries/20105463-how-do-i-map-channels-on-the-icetv-website-for-my-recorder-or-changing-which-channels-my-recorder-do   
I am in Bathurst so I have to use NSW Regional Southern channels. I use channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 22, 24, 30, 32, 34, 50, 55, 62, 63, 80, and 88.
I have also updated the firmware (use USB stick method, not internet update), done a reset to factory settings, installed the firmware, and then done another reset to factory settings. The info in System status: System ID 32026, Loader Version v1.02, Device version v1.0.1, Application Version TF-BCPF 2.10.00 Last update Apr 1 2013  (is the date significant?)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I am at a total loss of what to do.
THANKS Terry
