The price cut affects the TRF-2460 Masterpiece HD Plus, which is reduced from AU$1299 to AU$799, and the TRF-2400 Masterpiece, which is slashed from AU$1099 to AU$649.

The two PVRs offer up to 1TB of storage, recording of up to four channels on their dual tuners, internet streaming and soon DLNA support.

The other two models to receive a cut are the TRF-7160 (from AU$699 to AU$549) and the TRF-7100 Plus (from AU$899 to AU$599).

"The price reductions come on the heels of a very strong sales year for Topfield in Australia," said Robert Bonanno, marketing manager for Topfield.

The price cut follows TiVo's AU$200 drop in November 2010.
