Aw, this was a very nice post. In concept I wish to put in writing like this moreover â€“ taking time and precise effort to make an excellent articleâ€¦ but what can I sayâ€¦ I procrastinate alot and under no circumstances appear to get one thing done.

I have a 5. 500 gig like u.
All the same as u, except the I-player transfer thing. Please explain in more detail. Not great at all the fancy file names etc.
Also, how do I extend the recording time past 2 hours. I have the DVR STN.

I have a 605 and the new 500gb archos 5. I use mainly for loading tv shows films etc for travel. 605 dvr works great. however while waiting for new dvr for the 5 I used a snap on which would not work with my sky hd box, no relevant connections on bluray player, but works perfect with cheap toshiba dvd! I download bbc iplayer on pc and transfer file over to new 5 works perfect. As it is a capture for dvd’s great for storing all thoses rentals. I love the facility of transfering programmes saved on my hd box and get strange looks when watching Corrie on the plane!!! Can’t think of any other kit you can do that with.

I am planning on selling my Archos 5 160gb
with the DVR dock station. I purchased some games that will also be included. I sincerely love my Archos but I decided to carry one less unit on my trips. If anyone is interested let me know as it will be hitting eBay in a couple of days. I like this forum and wanted to give anyone here first dibbs. It is in a pretty good shape and I have the box it came with.
