Thinking of buying a V2 to replace our faulty Topfield TRF7160.
(Reviews of the alternative Fetch Mighty seriously raise questions about reliability, and it lacks ad skipping, providing only 32x plus jump-back).
V2 config I'm considering is -
Quad tuner
WiFi dongle
Will that require 3 USB ports, and therefore require me to buy the USB hub?
Should I buy a 1TB HDD (+$100) or a 512GB microSD card ($139, https://www.flashtrend.com.au/samsung-e ... gL3QfD_BwE)
If I buy the microSD card, will that slot into the V2 or is a 'carrier' needed to enlarge the card?
Anything else I should consider for the V2?
One other question - does the V2 EPG allow you to view each channel's guide vertically on a seperate 'page', like SmartEPG on the Topfield? (instead of all the channels listed together with shows stretching horizontally).
Thx.
New V2 config
Re: New V2 config
It will if you want a HDD or thumb drive (which you'll probably want for firmware updates), but not for a card.
That obviously depends on your usage. I have a 512GB HDD for the T2 and that's been good enough for me (at one time it held about three dozen movies and over a hundred shows; the shows had the ads "punched", though, and I don't use timeshift).Should I buy a 1TB HDD (+$100) or a 512GB microSD card
It's designed for microSD.If I buy the microSD card, will that slot into the V2 or is a 'carrier' needed to enlarge the card?
Yes (called Single EPG, which is my default).One other question - does the V2 EPG allow you to view each channel's guide vertically on a seperate 'page', like SmartEPG on the Topfield? (instead of all the channels listed together with shows stretching horizontally).

Thanks for your help Adoxa 
Would the specific card I linked to above be suitable for the V2?

Re: New V2 config
I believe so, but others might have more advice on that.
