 best accesory ever December 2, 2008
It is a bit pricey but for what it does it. It is worth every penny. I can't see a reason to buy an archos with out one.
Just we we needed! November 19, 2008
My husband needed an extra docking station that he could use in his vehicle and Amazon.com had the best price compared to many.
Thanks!
Works well November 17, 2008
I often use this to record a show if I am busy elsewhere. It works very well for recording, but the menu is sometimes a hassle. Also, I believe that you have to have the cable box set on the correct channel to record.
I also want to note that for a time the server was down that you use to update your TV guide (which is normally as easy process). It's back up and working now though.
Overall I would recommend this if you do not have TiVo or a DVR and you like to record shows for later viewing. That it works as charger is a good bonus.
 Very Poor Quality Workmanship October 20, 2008
I have had this device since February 2008. When I received it, there was a little rattle that I could hear, but it worked fine. After about a month of use, all of the sudden it would not work. It would charge the Archos fine, but no output to the TV. I contacted Archos and they had me send it in, on my dime.
Well, if you haven't dealt with Archos customer support before, be ready for lots of waiting and people that know very little about their product. The first lady I talked to didn't know the difference between a DVR and the Archos unit. I finally got a ticket to send it in, and even though their warehouse is a short distance from my house, they required I pay for shipping. They spent 2 weeks trying to fix it, then sent it back. There was no difference in the performance. The same problem still exsisted. So I had to contact them again and pay for shipping, AGAIN! I just got it back, it is now October, and the S-video output still doesn't work. Luckily, I have an adapter for S-video to RCA so I know it somewhat works. If I didn't, I would have to go buy an adapter or a different cable. They only include an S-video cable with the unit.
So, buyer beware with this product. I also have an external battery pack that outputs to the TV and can plug into the wall for charging, so I would recommend that product instead of this one. It is cheaper, less bulky, and has less parts.
Great complement for the Archos 605!!!! October 13, 2008
This DVR station is the best complement for the Archos 605 because it charges the device in about 3 hours. Its really smaller than I thought and really light. I have made a trip or two and I can just take the DVR station with me without running out of space in my backpack. Conecting the Archos 605 to the TV is really easy. The remote control is really great for managing everything on the TV. In total, GREAT PRODUCT!!!!
The service on Amazon.com was terrific. The packages were right on time, they were sealed and in perfect shape. The best thing is that I could monitor my purchase during the entire delivery time, which I did practically every 3 hours because of the excitement. It was just a breeze to buy it here, besides it was the best price I could find in the market (and trust me, I spend about 5 months looking this product everywhere online). I TOTALLY recomend buying it here!!!!!!
