Yeah,... but that time this was more than half of the build-in harddisk 
(40GB)! Meanwhile I've a second one with 120GB and use the old one
mainly for Svens MTV2-Recordings...
 
And Terabyte would fit perfect for the new HDTV receivers... :-)

Of course,... with numerous kinds of extentions and naming conventions.

If you write bits instead of bytes you would have the perfomance of the 
5000/6000 topfield models interfaces... the transfer rate is terribly slowed 
down by the CPU which has to do the whole work since the chipsset has no 
hardware support for USB/LAN.

That the reason why still some people have modified their TF5000-Receivers 
to use external harddisks in a cardridge,...  which was the only way for the 
good old TF4000PVR.

The extention *.rec is used for the TS streams of the newer Topfield models 
(5xxx,6xxx and probabely the forthcomming 7xxx), which have a 
different header... and actually I don't know what naming convention is used 
for splitting them with other tools than TFtool.
