Topfield TAP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Topfield TAP is a software application which extends the standard functionality of the Topfield products designed for digital TV. Examples of TAPs are electronic programme guides, digital photo viewers and MP3 players.
Anyone with the necessary computer programming skills may create a TAP to meet their needs. This is possible because Topfield have specified an open (or public) API which allows TAPs to be created using the C or C++ programming languages. They can be installed into most Topfield PVR models.
Some people have created TAPs and made them available for others to download and use, either for free or on payment of a small fee. There are a number of internet forums dedicated to TAPs where information can be exchanged and support received.
