2. Improvements of this version
    (1) The confirm box will prompt when you delete the reservation entry in delayed recording.
    (2) There was a problem in recording with the mode of current event.
        It was that "the receiver only saves the content of the timeshift buffer 
        that corresponds to the current event, and then stops recording, 
        even though the current event is not finished".
        It is fixed.
    (3) We announced that we fixed the below problem in July 15 2002.
    	"There were some cases that the duration of recording was longer than the user preset value.
        In such cases, the successive delayed recording might be cancelled. 
        It is fixed."
        But, we found some other condtions to make it revive and fixed it again.
    (4) The header line will be erased while watching the subtitle with software teletext.
    (5) There was a problem in searching the TP of Astra 12129MHz from last December.
        It is fixed.
    (6) The below problem is a little bit enhanced.
        "If you try to watch a descrambled file which was recorded from an scrmabled channel, 
        many picture errors occur. These errors can be avoided by removing the CI, 
        so it seems the already decrypted data stream is sent through the CI again, 
        and perhaps tried to decrypt again."
    (7) There was a reservation confict between [23:00, Sunday, Weekly, 60 min] and 
        [23:30, Monday, Every Weekday]. It is fixed.

2. Improvements of this version
    (1) There shall be no problem in descrambling France2/3 in Astra 12515MHz with the Aston CAM.
    (2) There was a problem while watching the subtitle with the software teletext. 
        The previous subtitle line was not erased. It is fixed.
    (3) The problem of delayed recording with weekly mode is fixed. 
    (4) When the system records a service with the descrambled format, the system will keep it as the descrambled format
        even menu, EPG or some other operations except for channel change and time-shift mode.
    (5) The overall performance is a little bit enhanced. You can try it with the menu in teletext services.
    (6) There was an index number in the date cell of recorded file list when you saved the cut file.
        It is fixed.
    (7) If a recorded file is locked, the image of instant view window will be also locked.
    (8) The delayed recording menu is completely changed to VCR style.
    (9) The running time of the cut & saved file was not so correct. It is improved.
    (10) There is a change in EPG processing scheme. The EPG speed is a little bit faster than the previous version.
    (11) There was a problem of marking two events as the current simultaneously in EPG. It is fixed.

2. Improvements of this version
    (1) The fonts of 'W', 'X', 'O' and 'D' in software teletext are changed to clearer ones.
    (2) The font of a white space in software teletext is fixed. 
        In the previous version, it showed as 'ae'.
    (3) There were some problems in DiSEqC 1.2 when you delete and add the satellites. It is fixed.
    (4) The USALS (DiSEqC 1.3) is supported. 
    (5) A bookmark is saved at the end of time-shift playback when you are watching the recording service 
        with time-shift mode. This is from that the end of recording stops the time-shift playback.
    (6) If the system boots by the delayed recording, the channel shall be the recorded channel.
    (7) The contents of extened EPG in EPG mode were not correct sometimes. It is fixed.
    (8) The following problem is fixed.
        "If you program a repeating timer, for the validation if that time is already blocked by another timer,
         only the first occurence of the repeating timer is checked."
    (9) If you locked the recorded file of CONAX, the system could not decramble it with the embedded CAS. 
        (Only in TF4000PVR COCI) It is fixed.

3. To be improved at the next version.
    (1) TF4000PVR does not support the subtitle completely. You can check it in some Canal+ services.
        It will be fixed at the next version.
    (2) Some other bugs in subtitle will be fixed.

2. Improvements of this version
    (1) The wakeup channel did not work in the version of June 12 2002. It is fixed.
    (2) The system accessed the HDD while displaying the EPG even though wakeup_EPG and time_shift are disabled. 
        It is fixed.
    (3) The menu strings of french language are refined.
    (4) The bookmark was saved in the recording file in case of playback while recording.
        The bookmark at this case is saved only in playback file.
    (5) There were some cases that the duration of recording was longer than the user preset value.
        In such cases, the successive delayed recording might be cancelled. 
        It is fixed.
    (6) There was a problem in getting EPG with wakeup EPG disabled.
        (It could be solved by re-searching the services.)
        There were two cases for this problem.
        (a) The channel data was scanned with the old firmware which is prior to the NVOD supporting version(Mar. 05 2002).
        (b) The channel data was made or downloaded with the old STB manager which is prior to the NVOD supporting version(Ver 1.023).
        It is fixed from this version.
    (7) If you rename the service name to the maximum length and try to record that service, the playback will fail.
        It is fixed.

2. Improvements of this version
	(1) There was a problem in calculating the free space of hdd at the previous official version.
	    It is fixed. 
	    The time shifting buffer is also calculated from this version.
	    So, when you are watching the fixed channel, the free space will be decreased little by little to 1 hour buffer size.
	(2) The instant view image was not correct in case of starting recording a channel 
	    while watching other channels of the same TP. It is fixed.
	(3) There is an added menu item in Main menu -> Installation -> Firmware upgrade -> PID. 
	    This is for the OTA via Hotbird or other satellites.
	    For the time being, this is 347 for Astra and Hotbird.
	    OTA via Hotbird is under testing.
	(4) If you want to stop the recording, just press the stop key two times. 
	    You don't have to press V+/V- and OK key. No need for "finger acrobatics".
	(5) The pause key will work at the software teletext mode in case of playback and time shifting, not live.
	(6) There was a problem in recognition of some nagravision cam. It is fixed.
	(7) The EPG can be saved in the HDD. 
	    There is an added menu item in Main menu -> System Setting -> Time Setting -> Wakeup time for EPG.
	    If you make it enable, the item of "Satellite for EPG" is also enabled.
	    If you set the timer of "Wakeup time for EPG", the system wakes up, gathers the EPG of the selected satellite
	    and returns to the standby mode.
	    If you make it disabled, the EPG scheme is the same as the previous version, 
	    ie. the system does not read the EPG data from the HDD.
		
		The system saves only other TS's to reduce the gathering time. The actual TS's EITs are processed at live.
		We know that it is not so effective for the Astra/Hotbird users.
		But, this EPG scheme will be useful when the pvr processes the canal+ epg in the future.
	(8) The timer of the delayed recording had a problem. It is almost fixed.
	
3. Known problems
	(1) Related to the (6) of above improvements list, some nagravision cam may not be recognized in cam slot 1 (the upper slot)
	    in case of no smart card. 
	    So, if the nagravision cam was not recognized for a long time(about 10 seconds), please insert it in the bottom slot.
	    The picture may flicker at some nagravsion channels with some nagravision cam.
	    Ejecting and re-inserting the cam may make it better.
	    Anyway, we will try to fix it. 

4. Notice
	(1) Related to the (7) of above improvements list, the EPG data would not be gathered in case of canal+ in Astra.
		It seems to have a different EIT format from the DVB-SI.
		The TF4000PVR does not processs it yet.

    (1) There was a picture filckering problem in case of more than 1 hour time shifting.
        It will be enhanced.
    (2) The maximum duration for the copy function of the recorded file was 2 hours.
    	It is fixed.
    (3) The VCR bypass function is modifiled due to the request of non-scart market.
        There is an added menu item of in Main menu -> System Setting -> A/V Output Setting -> VCR Scart Type.
        If you select "Standard", the TV/Sat key will work as the same way of the previous version.
        It is for scart market such as europe.
        If you select "External A/V", pressing the TV/Sat will switch the TV video output to VCR input unconditionally.
        This is for non-scart market.
    (4) There was a problem in IRD-to-IRD downloading which is in the menu of Main menu -> Installation.
        It is fixed.
    (5) The numeric display of signal level and quality in some installation menus is added.
    (6) The extended epg in the info box was not re-gathered while the event changes in the same channel. 
        It is fixed.
    (7) The service name in the EPG was updated every several seconds and it was shown like flickering.
        It is fixed.
    (8) The copy function of the recorded file failed in case of signal unlocking state.

2. Improvements of this version
    (1) Setting the bookmark at live of recording channel is available from this version.
        The jump-to-bookmark problem while recording is also fixed.
    (2) The EIT problem in the info box, e.g. the EIT of 3 hours ago reappears, is fixed.
        The EIT text in the info box will be also updated while the info box is being displayed.
    (3) AC3 problem is fixed.
    (4) The function of TV/SAT key which is located between TV/Radio and FAV key is redefined.
        In case of IRD only, it is TV/SAT as the previous version.
        In case of VCR bypass, it is SAT/VCR.
    (5) The searching with SMATV mode had a problem in the previous version. It is fixed.
    (6) The front pannel will display "rECo" while recording a channel.
    (7) The bookmark at recording will be available while playback next time.
    (8) The number of timer slots for delayed recording is increased to 24. 
        It is almost maximum at this hardware version due to the limitation of flash memory. 
        Increasing it more than 24 needs the scarifice of some other resources.
    (9) The problem of searching the Astra2(28.2 E) is fixed.
    (10) There was a problem in storing the satellite indexes of Stab DiSEqC 1.2 motor. It is fixed.
        It is caused by wrong database of satellite. To update it, you SHOULD do the factory setting.
        If you don't watch the channels in Thor123, Turk1B neither Turk1C with Stab DiSEqC 1.2 motor,
        you don't have to do factory setting.
    (11) The problem so-called "Big File" is almost fixed. The slim function is removed.
    (12) The position of playback/time-shifting progress bar will be downward as the info box moves upward
        by adjusting Main menu -> System setting -> Info box position.
    (13) Some satellite/TP database are updated, especially eurobird in Astra2.
        You have to do factory setting to update it.
        
3. FAQ
    (1) If the LNB-Settings are "Separated" and the TF is started with Tuner 2 active, 
        neither LNB-Power on Tuner 1 nor the 12V output are activated.
		==> A. The LNB power of tuner 1 will be activated if you change the channel in tuner 1 or a delayed recording
		       of tuner 1 channel starts.
		    B. The 12V switch is only for tuner 1. You can't control it with tuner 2.
    (2) The TV output mode (RGB/CVBS) is not saved if it is selected by TV/SAT key.
		==> A. When you press the TV/SAT key, the system pulls down the Slow-Blanking and Fast-Blanking of scart.
		       So, the TV output mode goes to CVBS if the TV is on A/V mode. 
		       The TV/SAT key function is just for switching the TV source temporarily and not saved after turn-off.
		    B. You can save the TV output mode at Main menu -> System setting -> A/V output setting -> Video output.

2. Improvements of this version
    (1) The firmware can be upgraded via satellite (OTA). But, the upgrade s/w will not be on air for the time being.
        Moreover, you should upgrade the loader which supports OTA to use this function.
        They will be posted in topfield's homepage at next time.
        You can use OTA in Main menu -> Installation -> Firmware Upgrade.
    (2) We got the test report that the subtitle in canal+ satellite has a problem at fra track.
        We checked it at several channels. They has just only fra track information and no subtitle contents.
    (3) NVOD service is available. The 'OK'/'info' key in reference service or 
        'info' key in time shifted service shows the all the time shifted services with the duration information.
        To use NVOD, you should re-search all the channels with auto/NIT on mode.
        We recommand factory setting before channel scan.
    (4) The TAP application did not work in the HDD with the capacity more than 128 GB. 
        It is fixed from this version.
    (5) The file size information was not correct in the HDD with the capacity more than 128 GB. It is fixed.
    (6) The video was not stable for a few seconds at the starting point of playback 
        in the HDD with the capacity more than 128 GB. It is fixed.
    (7) In some cases, the EIT text was shown in the duration area of info box. It is fixed.
    (8) The EPG performance is a little bit enhanced.
    (9) The size of recorded file may be a little bit smaller than the previous version.
        You SHOULD re-search the channels to be recorded. 
        If you format the HDD after channel scan, the file size may be not shorten.
    (10) There is an added function to slim the recorded file. 
         There is one more function in the help window of Recorded Services list, [>>] key to slim the recorded file.
         It will not work at playback mode.
    (11) Some ORF channels was not shown between 19:00 and 19:25. It is fixed.
    (12) The EPG key works while channel list is being shown.
    (13) The TAP applicaiton of QuickEPG will be O.K. from this version.
    (14) German tranlsation is completed. It is owed to InsideTV of german board.
    (15) The satellite position of DiSEqC 1.2 may be forgotten in some cases. It is fixed.
    (16) It supports STB manager V1.023 to preserve NVOD information.
    (17) The system might halt in radio service even though its condition which we found is very rare.
         It is fixed.
    (18) The system may malfunction in case of TAP downloading failure. It is fixed.


3. Known problems
    (1) The EIT text in the info box is not updated while being displayed.
		==> We have no plan to fix it.
    (2) The words of cutting function are not translated.
		==> They are not in the separated language file yet.

4. FAQ
    (1) Sometimes scrambled recordings are generated, even though the TF has nothing else to do 
        than to record the service.
		==> A. If the services are descrambled, ie. decoding O.K., at the starting point of recording, 
		       it is recorded in the descrambled format. If not, it is recorded in the scrambled format, ie. direct from tuner.
		       If the recording is started while watching another channels, the recorded data is scrambled format if it is
		       CAS service and you should have the CAM and smart card of that service to playback it.
		    B. There are some cases that the recorded data is changed to scrambled format 
		       even though the recording is started in descrambled format.
		       They are (a) channel change during the recording, (b) time shifting, (c) playback a recorded file,
		       (d) unlocking of satellite signal or some other abnormal states.
		    C. If you use copy function during the normal playback with the CAM and smart card, the newly recorded
		       file would be descrambled. By the fast forwarding, you can shorten the dscrambling time.

    (2) When the device receives the "power off" command from the remcon, a yes/no-dialog should appear on the screen.
		==> As we explaned in the FAQs #4 of Nov 21 version (please see the list below), it is not possible for
		    current hardware. It may seem to be easy problem and easy really, we have to modify the hardware a little.
		    And, if we change the hardware, the software would not work old hardware.    

    (3) The key reaction is slow in some channels.
		==> Check that the channels have teletext information. The CPU is a little busy for processing software teletext.

    (4) The downloading of TAP application fails sometimes.
		==> If so, try to download in the submenu of main menu such as main menu -> system setting. 

    (5) There is a huge big recorded file which cannot be playback.
		==> We also experienced an awful big file once during the field test in DK.
		    We could not playback it neither. By analyzing the recorded file, we found the reasonable scenario.
		    I wonder that it is from the DiSEqC problem.
		    The reserved service to be recorded is in Astra (DiSEqC 2). 
		    But, the real recorded file is from Hotbird (DiSEqC 1) with the almost same freq. and the same symbol rate.
		    We wonder that the DiSEqC is reset or changed by unknown reason and the signal locking is still good 
		    because of the similar TP information.
		    The DiSEqC commands are re-issued only when the channel is unlocked.
 
	        We are trying to find the exact reason why the DiSEqC is changed abnormally. 
	        It will take a time to find which one could be faulty between the settop and DiSEqC.

    (6) If telstar 12 is stored and after Panam 3R is stored , Telstar 12 is gone in DiSEqC 1.2.
		==> The testar 12 and Panam 3R are not indexed in Stab DiSEqC 1.2.
 	        If the satelite position is not indexed in Stab motor, it is saved ONLY after you pressed 'OK' key
 	        with 'store' mode in Main menu -> Installation -> Motorized DiSEqC 1.2 -> Motor Control.

    (7) On travel channel (12168/27500/V), the subtitles are resulting in strange signs. 
		==> One of subtitle tracks has the strange codes.
	        We concluded that the subtitle track has really such information with the correct subtitle format.
	        But, We know also that some receivers do not display it.

    (8) I saw it was possible to slim a file twice or more. Is this normal?
		==> From the second slimming, it is not so effective as the first slimming.

    (9) For NVOD, is it not possible to make like the german D-Box? I have to press info or OK key to view the
        time shifted service.
		==> I wonder that we have to do like this because of the channel structure and our PVR implementation.

    (10) The old STB manager does not support the NVOD.
		 ==> It is from the STB manager V1.022.

    (11) "Slim recorded File"- really necessary?? Needs a lot of time
		 ==> I'm sorry if you think so. But, it's almost the maximum speed in pvr.

    (12) The Big File Problem is not dependent on DiSEqC, because it is reported from users that don't use DiSEqC.
		 ==> The comments in FAQ (5) is one of possibile scenarios, in which the recorded file is very big and cannot be playback.

    (13) in the NVOD-Channels, the EPG still works only in the "Base Channel"
		 ==> The EITs of time shifted service exists in the reference channel (Base Channel). 
             To gather the EIT text in all the time_shifted_service, we have to cut the video if the TP of reference channel
             is different from the time shifted service's.
       
    (14) In the improvement description you said that a video problem occured with Discs > 128 GB, 
         but that problem also occured for smaller disks.
	 	 ==> The video flickering at starting playback is to synchronize the audio and video in MPEG decoder.
             The problem in improvements (6) is longer and more terrible.
                   
    (15) I have experienced a file of 11 GB for 90 minutes in ORF channels.
		 ==> If the system does not have the correct video/audio PID information in the current running TP,
       	 	 the recorded file size may be bigger. 
       		 Due to the field test in DK, we noticed that the A/V PIDs of ORF channels are changed during 19:00 ~ 19:25
       		 as described in the improvements (11).

    (8) There is a selection menu between RGB and CVBS. It is in Main Menu -> System Setting 
	    -> A/V Output Setting.
    (9) In the previous version, the system time was changed dynamically by TDT information. So, it might cause
	    the change of delayed recording time in some case. 
	    From this version, the delayed recording time will not be modified even though the TDT value changes.
	    If your preferred channel has wrong TDT information, set the time to manual mode in
	    Main Menu -> System Setting -> Time Setting -> Local Time Setting -> Mode.

		And, the TP database of Turk1C is completely changed. 
		If you want to update TP database, you have to do factory setting.
    (4) There was a problem at issuing the DiSEqC command just after booting. We fixed it.
    (5) If you set Timer mode to Auto (Default) in Main menu -> System setting -> Local Time Setting -> Mode, 
	    the system refers the TDT information as the current time. 
		If there is no TDT at some channels, the system changes the timer mode to manual 
		even though the displayed mode is still Auto.
		There was a bug in manual timer mode and it is fixed.
    (6) The remocon key reaction is much improved.
    (7) There was a problem supporting some HDDs, especially Fujitsu. There is no problem now.
		But, DO NOT TRY IT because if you have a h/w problem with other HDD,

    (1) We often check the board of www.topfield.de => international area (english). 
	    So, if any problems or good ideas, post them.
    (2) All the softwares of topfield settops are posted at www.topfield.co.kr 
    	and you can get the product information.

4. To be improved at the next version. The next official version will be available in the 21th Dec.
    (1) The bookmarks at recorded service will be saved. 
	    So, After you stopped the playback, the presetted bookmarks will be available at next playback.
    (2) Supporting the bigger capacity HDD than 128 GB.
    (3) Adding function for adjust the pre-recording time and post-recording time.
    (4) German translation of menu strings.
    (5) Russian translation of menu strings.

5. FAQ
    (1) What is the "bule key" described in Improvements in Oct 24 version (8) ?
		==> It is the mistyping of blue key.
    (2) Is it possible to record two streams via 2 tuners?
		==> It is Impossible for the current hardware platform. 
			It depends not only on the speed of HDD but also on the performace of the main chipset. 
			We consider it in next high-end model, maybe available from 3Q or 4Q 2002.
    (3) Why did you remove multi-channel EPG?
		==> We think that it was not so good because
			(a) the window is too small to show some information 
			(b) If the channels of different TPs are displayed together, the EPG data of some channel will not be updated
			(c) to simplify the usage of EPG.
    (4) We need the warning prompt when power off while recording.
		==> It is Impossible for the current hardware. It seems to be easy just from the technical view point.
			But, to do so, we must modify hardware a little and the compatibility problem will arise.
    (5) Do you support S-VHS?
		==> It is Impossible for the current hardware. The RGB output is default by setting the FB signal of scart.
			If your TV does not support RGB, it will employ CVBS output.
    (6) The name of recorded service is not consistent.
		==> The default name of recorded service is from evnet name. There are serveral cases to use 
			channel name as followings.
			(a) There is no event information of recorded channel.
			(b) The system cannot get the event information till recording start time.
			(c) The recorded channel is different from the current watching channel.
    (7) When I reserved the delayed recording at EPG, 
	    sometimes the R mark was erased but the delayed recording is reserved still.
		==> The reference time from TDT may be incorrect at some channels. 
			Even though the epg time will follow the new time, 
			it may cause the conflict with the time of reserved epg event by strictly checking its consistency. 
			Anyway, we will try to find the better solution.
