An inexpensive and simple DVR
I wanted to replace a VCR with a simple DVR that did not require a monthly payment for service. The Archos TV+ met all my needs. It is simple to set up (use the online PDF manual) and record to your hearts content.

WiFi is a must
WiFi is a must with this product to get the full benefits. I don't have WiFi so not that great for my personal use. Actually difficult to set up. Better to purchase the Archos 504 or the such which is easy to use and set up.

What I've been looking for.
I've been searching for something like this for a long time. This does play my mp3 and most of my avi. file. I don't feel it's right to charge to get upgrades in software to play more files. Transferring took some time. I did have to restart my...

We recently looked at the Linksys DMA2200 a media streamer with excellent usability, but one that also required a Vista PC with Media Center to be running. The TV+ from Archos is similar as it can act just like a standard media streamer, grabbing co
