Dl the recorded stuff to your pc .
open up selected file with power dvd , pause and snapshot the frame you want .
make sure the saved snapshot is saved as a jpeg .
then post away and be prepared for a thankless job , but don't let this stop you as us few will feel your pain . What reb said , only I record on Topfield PVR , then record the cappabble bits to dvd on dvd recorder when I get a chance to watch the recorded program . Advantage of this way is I can fast forward to the good bits without sitting through a couple of hours of crap , especially when it comes to morning shows .

Next on the shopping list will be twin tuner HD , record 4 programs simultaneously I know this is getting a bit off topic but this seems as good a juncture as any for my question. I visited the Topfield website yesterday because I need a HD PVR (I have currently an HD STB that doesn't record) but could not understand the difference between what they called a PVR & a Freeview. Is a Freeview a PVR with Internet access or what? http://www.itopfield.com.au/

Thanks, Narlz. Yeah, I just want something that is HD, records two channels simultaneously, has a decent sized HD & is RELIABLE! Most of those one that link would probably do me. Pity they don't show the RRP.
Do you know if the Sony ones are any good?

Do you know if the Sony ones are any good? You should be able to get that particular Toppy for under $700 Hardly Normals were flogging them on special a couple of weeks ago . I'm pretty much hooked on Topfield , user freindly and reliable . These people have all the answers if you can get your head around them . http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?s=1f ... da&act=idx . Can get even more confusing sometimes .
