Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
ARCHOS presents its new widescreen Mobile Digital TV and Recorder (DVR), a handheld device for watching Digital TV (built-in DVB-T tuner) and recording TV shows and movies directly on the device anytime, anywhere. You can store up to 35 hours of digital TV quality programs and watch them on its 7 color screen when on the go or at home on your TV screen.

The AV 700 TV is the mobile TV & Recorder companion for people on the move:

Watch free Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) and record your favorite programs

The AV 700 TV features a dual Digital Terrestrial receiver (2 tuners + 2 processors) coupled with 2 active external antennas to exploit diversity technology.

Diversity technology is a very sophisticated signal processing method that analyzes and correlates the 2 signals received by the two active antennas and generates improved reception

Crystal clear video quality with no snow or ghosting effects as seen on analog TVs

TV anywhere: Enjoy and watch digital terrestrial TV in optimal conditions anywhere, anytime& at home, or even at work on your lunch break.

Diversity processing enhances reception where single antennas have limited reception. Due to signal echoing on walls, a single antenna must be moved depending on the channel. With the combination of the two antenna signals, the reception will always be optimum

Automatically scans and detects the digital channels; can memorize 5 different locations and the available channels associated (100 channels per location)

Use it alone, or connected to your TV (PAL) to serve as a standard DVB-T receiver box.

Use the built-in digital recorder, to directly record digital TV (DVB-T) in MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) and make scheduled recordings. Automatically names the files with the program title. Record from an analog video source in MPEG-4 format (in VGA resolution - 640x480) with an optional TV Pod or travel cable kit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Every Penny, 30 Mar 2007
    By S. Ramsey (Plymouth, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
    When I ordered this for our tiny kitchen hubby said it wouldn't be any good, total waste of money etc (can't actually put what he said really or there would be a blank page). Owned it for over six months now and my how he's had to eat his words. When it arrived it took me no more than 20mins and a coffee - 10mins of that reading manual/drinking coffee - and I was watching freeview tv in our kitchen with a crystal clear picture and some channels that were not even showing on our old freeview box in the livingroom! The initial scan for channels took approx 2mins. When he came in from work I wish I had thought to get out the camera because his face was a picture - after oooing and haaaing for several minutes he finally admitted that it was amazing. The screen is very clear and the freeview signal is excellent. The menus are very intuitive and there is on-screen help if you need it. You can record anything you see on freeview with the touch of one button. One thing I would point out is that if you like very loud tv then you will need to purchase portable speakers. We are happy with the sound level at home but when we are away we bought a very small portable set of fold-up aigo speakers which just use the headset plug in the top of the AV700. We have taken it from Scotland to Norfolk, and inbetween, in the past six months and everywhere we've gone there has been no problem with scanning freeview in again. The machine gives you the option of saving several of your scans so you can just key in the scan number if you go back to a location and the freeview works instantly. We've even taken it on the canals and found that ninety percent of the time it works fine even though you are moving constantly. We also bought the hub that allows you to record dvd's onto the machine which we've found invaluable while we are away. Hubby records several dvds and then while we are away if there is nothing on the tv we can watch them. The only problem we found is that we argue over who uses it for what. Another 'cannot fault' item. Worth every single penny to us because we use it more than we use our main LCD tv!

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic piece of kit!, 16 Jun 2007
    By Obiwan "obiwan2467" (South Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
    I've been fancying one of these for years but they were incredibly expensive until now, Bought mine from Amazon Marketplace via Avides Media. I ordered it very late on Tuesday night it arrived Friday morning all the way from Germany to the UK. The description said slight damage to packaging and I must admit I was a little worried till it arrived but don't let it put you off if you're thinking of buying one. The damage to the box was barely noticable and the contents were perfect.

    Now for the product. All I can say is WOW!! Apart from having to charge it, there was nothing I needed to do in order to get it to work flawlessly with all the .avi files I threw at it. No stuttering, no codec issues. Very quick to transfer your files either from your hard drive or DVD-ROM drive. Only thing I would say is, I am running Windows Vista and although I have the latest firmware on the Archos, it didn't seem to like handling large file transfers in "Windows Device" mode. If you have any problems where copying files fails for any reason just go into "Display Setup Screen", then go to System and under "USB Port" select "Hard Drive" then connect to your PC and just treat as an external hard drive. It then works perfectly. I transferred 2.5 Gb of Prison Break avi files through my DVD-ROM in less than 5 minutes!

    There are also loads of accessories bundled with this device. You get earphones (which are very good!), USB lead, USB host lead so you can connect your MP3 player or Digi Camera directly to it, an AV lead to connect to your TV, carry pouch for the unit, two aerials in a carry case so you can receive Freeview (and record it) on the device and two suckers to attach the aerials to the inside of your car windows. The first time I tried the Freeview in the car I got almost 50 channels!! You also get a lead to plug the device into your existing home aerial to make sure you get the best reception and you can schedule it to record TV directly onto your device to watch later. There is a little 'kickstand' on the back of the unit so you can stand it on a table to watch and you can get a fairly cheap suction mount for the car.

    I don't know what more I can say about this amazing little gadget; if you are considering buying one, take my advice and spend the 180 quid, you won't be disappointed - best money I've spent in years!!

    2.0 out of 5 stars LOUSY TECHNICAL SUPPORT, 24 Jun 2007
    The Archos needs a few plug-ins to play all your files, though why they're not just provided on a product at this price I can't understand. I've paid for the 2 plug-ins I need, but despite attempts to download them on several different computers I just keep getting the message 'Decompression Failed'. Attempts to contact Archos so-called Technical Support have been totally fruitless. Save your money and have nothing to do with this second-rate company until they upgrade their technical support
