While the 605 is docked, go into Settings|TV Control, then click "Set Infrared Emitter". Then click, "Test Channel Select". Then click "Manual settings". There is a setting, "Switches on with". Try each of the three options, "Any key", "Power", or "Any channel".

On my unit, the Recorder Settings Settings for "TV Program Guide Reminder" often reverts to:

Remind me if Data has: "less than three Days"

I try to keep this setting configured for "less than one Week"

Generally, the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) doesn't work well for me. Often it takes my unit ...

Dock back...

In Settings|TV Control|Set Infrared Emitter, configure for the best match:

TV Receiver
Receiver Brand
Codes

Then click the button, Test Channel Select. Here if you cllick the Manual Settings button, you can also configure,

Codes

I don't have my dock, and without its connection, my 605 won't give me the menu to see the settings. If I remember correctly, in the Set Infrared Emitter settings, there is an option to configure additional settings, such as emitter delay and whether to prefix zeros.

Try fiddling with the advanced settings for pre-pending zeros, etc.

I don't know if this bug is particular to 2.1.04, because I only recently installed the Web Radio plugin.

When listening to a Web Radio station, if the wireless network signal drops out, then there is no way to exit the Web Radio application. The 605 WiFi alternates between offering to search for a ...

Here is a lazy way. If you have two 605's, then pipe the output of the video on the first 605 to be recorded on the second 605. On the first 605, use the Notepad widget or some more appropriately modified version that allows you to type and to display your text, so that it is displayed out to video ...

Actually, I'm serious! Who can help write a widget to implement a virtual keyboard terminal, that buffers the keystrokes and encodes the sequence to be played out as PCM audio? Keep versatility in mind, so that the widget can be ported to other handheld web/audio devices for compatibility.

Then one ...

I've been brainstorming off-the-wall for a solution along these lines:

Hack a standalone low-power text input device, some sort of keyboard logger or Morse code key, that transduces input characters into an audio signal that can be recorded by the DVR dock, and then decoded back into text later on ...

I'd like the Music Player to sequentially play all the Web Radio Podcasts that appear in a particular Genre folder, automatically, without user intervention. But the Music Player will only play single podcasts on demand.

There isn't any option for using a Podcast playlist. Moreover, none of the ...

I installed the Web TV & Radio Plug-in today. With this plug-in, Archos has reignited my enchantment with the 605 WiFi, drawing me back yet again to dole out several more allotments of time and money.

Small bug to report while listening to a Web Radio station: When I click Menu, duplicate entries ...

Annoying TV Program Guide Nag Message.

Every time the Recorder is invoked, the message, "Your subscription will expire in XX days," appears. The message requires attention, i.e. you must click "OK" to dismiss the alert, and like many other Archos features, it invariably ...

It worked temporarily for me. When I docked and ran "Update" via wireless,
the Electronic Program Guide reverted back to nagging that my subscription
will expire.

Is the Archos 605 WiFi affected by this newly reported vulnerability?
