HD Topfield/Humax

I am looking to upgrade from my Topfield TF5520 PVR to an HD version.
What are the pros and cons of the Topfield to the Humax, of where can I
get the comparison information please?

It depends on what you want the box for.
Assuming satellite and Freesat, the Humax have a Freesat branded box
with a 7 day EPG for Freesat broadcasts (now and next for non-Freesat
channels). The Topfield will be a free to air box with just now and
next and therefore possibly not the best choice if you want to use the
EPG for setting programmes you want to record.

Has Humax now done away with the "Freesat" and "Non-Freesat" modes?..

And if so, does that mean the box now allows a mixing of mixed epg?..
(7 day for freesat, and now and next for non-freesat)

I know that's what it sounds like you said, but I want to confirm
