Have now got a netbook (HP Mini-Note 2133). Since this is slightly more portable than my main machine (it doesn't have a slew of wires and a USB hub connected to it) is there a way I can set it up to talk to the Toppy?
Grab a copy of ftpd-topfield and compile it for your machine. You might need to install a compiler and libraries but it is relatively easy to build.
I've used it with great success over the past few years.
There also is a small commandline app called "puppy" which can transfer files from and to the Topfield PVR. Recorded stuff is stored as *.rec files on the Topfield.
I'm not sure how to burn DVDs from *.rec files, though.
By the way, storing *.rec files is what I intended to do with that that Maxtor HD which I recently wrote about -- thanks to all who replied.
