Digital camera reviews of Archos DVR Station Gen 5 for 405, 605, and 705 PlayersDigital camera Review: A Must Have for the 605 Summary: 4 Stars
The DVR Station works as described. The DVR function is a significant portion of the 605 capability. It was a snap to cable it, and the IR setup, to control the S-Video source, was one of the easiest yet. The programming guide was also easy to configure, and use (not sure about the fee structure after the "free" one year period).
I also liked the external charger (didn't have to wait 24 hours to charge before "playing with it"). The docking station makes it easy to connect & disconnect, which is often during the setup phase.
I gave it only four stars because of the lack of a Tuner.
