Looks like the current (4G) DVR. From what google's transcribed, the new DVR (aka ArchosTV More!) will have HDMI, RGB, USB, Ethernet, and a built in HDD (ranging from 80-250GB for 220-300Ôé¼).

Note the Real Video format support in plugins, and the "..." at the end. Possible Vorbis support?

Now I really can't get rid of my 604 wifi quickly enough :cry:

looks freaking awesome, though i feel cheated/overlooked probably like everyone else who bought their 604wifi within the past 8 months it's been out. real disappointing. i might be using ebay real soon.

is 80GB an option on the 605? i know the presentation said 4, 30 and 160, but the website suggests there's also an 80gb option http://www.archos.com/products/gen_5/ar ... al&lang=en

I'm actually happier with my 404 now more than ever...

One question - it never says if the Gen5 players can use the Gen4 DVR Station?

Post by **Charbax** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 7:53 pm

This remote with integrated keyboard is awesome to use for Youtube, Dailymotion, VOD, Podcast download client or to rename recordings directly on the TV. I hope we can also use a small portable foldable keyboard usb while on-the-go.

I wish the 30GB & 160GB has a SD or HCSD slot too

Does the stand alone DVR record from an HDMI source? That would be a FIRST
