You're welcome John
The DVR HDD was only $20 more than a regular HDD at the time so I thought it was worth getting it. Each brand has a different name for their DVR HDD, I got a Seagate Pipeline.
If your thinking of buying another Toppy, check out retail shops. The Topfield store is more expensive, you can save yourself around $100 or more. Having said that, I have not seen the 7160 for sale except for the Topfield site. I'm actually surprised it's still available and it's a reasonable price for $224.00. I have noticed that the 7100HD and 7160 use the same remote.
It all comes down to how many shows you want to record at the same time and how much money you want to spend.
T3 is $599 - Barebones unit, remote control and USB tuner. No HDD which is another $130 approx.
7160 is $224.00 - Unit with remote control and 500GB HDD.
