Definitely, because it didn't need to rely on CRIDs. You could programme it by a search of part, or all, of the programme name as well as specifying a day/time range and/or other parameters. It was very flexible, you could make the search as simple or as complex as you liked, within reason.

I painted a very rosy picture of the old Topfield boxes above, but they are not without their problems, one important being that they suffer from a tendency to completely wipe everything off the hard disk if the signal quality gets poor, so you have to be very careful during lift conditions when the quality can nosedive.
And they are, of course, SD only.

Thanks. I see, steam reservations. None of your fancy modern stuff that Aunty keeps screwing up then.

Yes, wiping everything off the HDD could be a tad disconcerting.Exactly! Still much more reliable overall. In eight years I only had one disk wipe. In under two years I have had loads of problems with the 5000T, especially, though not exclusively, associated with sillies in the schedule. Don't know how many times I have done a power down reset in that time.
