Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my DVR station unit promptly with the FREE super savers shipping (Thanks Amazon) and I think that the unit needs some explanation. If you want to record TV, you will have to use a VCR that has video output using some composite cables (not included). I have a subscription to Comcast and I have not tested out the TV Program guide for the Archos 605 (you need to download the guide from the Archos website) but I am pleased with the ability to record the on-demand content.
There are many options with the video recording feature, the highest being 2500 kbit/s and 48 khz for the audio. It is also possible to record audio only using the included red and white cables. Also, the nice feature is the ability for the input device to pass-through to the TV. For example, recording through composite cables from a Gamecube or PS2 appears choppy on the Archos 605 screen because the unit can only handle 30 frames per second but if you connect composite cables from the DVR to the TV in the output ports, the TV displays the gameplay as if there were no DVR connected, allowing someone to record from any standard definition device while watching in real-time on the TV.
However, the best feature by far is the included remote. It runs on 2 AAA batteries and the comfortable design has two seperate plastic covered slots
