Abstract: There are plenty of solutions for getting downloaded video and music onto your TV, from Windows Media Center to digital media adapters-and of course, Apple TV. You can record TV on a Windows Media Center and transfer it to a portable media player, or ...
Built-in DVR, Good streaming ability, Can sync recordings to Archos media players
Low video resolution, Confusing remote, Web plug-in costs $30 extra
Although the Archos TV+ has more features, it’s not as easy to use as Apple TV, does not support true high-def, and has a confusing remote. In its current form, the Archos TV+ is a pale Apple TV imitation, even if it can record video.
The TV+ has a lot of potential and is certainly stacked with features. But it has too many shortcomings to be worth spending £250 on. It's not a particularly good media streamer. It's not an elegant alternative to Sky Plus or a decent twin-tuner DVR. Its ...
Abstract: Out of the Box I was extremely excited to get my hands on the ARCHOS TV+ after getting the demo at CES. All of the promised features, gobs of storage, and low starting price had me really stoked to give it a go. I’ll note there that during the...
Built-in DVR. Streams video and audio from PCs. Copies files to and from other devices via USB. Remote has several options. HDMI-out, several connection choices. Internet browser.
Needs software plug-ins for decent file support. User interface is slow, ugly. Limited offerings, poor integration from Content Portal. Occasional aspect ratio issues. No HD support yet.
The TV+ highlights both the best Archos has to offer (an excellent DVR, quality wireless streaming) and the worst (an outdated user interface, so-so file support). Its certainly an innovative device, but its limitations are frustrating....
Les connectiques, Linterface (hors menu daccueil), Laccès aux partages réseau
Les plugins payants, Les restrictions denregistrement, La télécommande
Au final en prenant en compte le prix (plus les plugins en option) et les possibilités offertes par lappareil, notre avis est très mitigé. La télécommande avec clavier Qwerty nest pas un modèle du genre et la présence de restrictions denregistrement...
Formats audio et vidéo supportés, accès à des services de vidéo à la demande, port USB hôte, fonction denregistrement, liaison Wi-Fi.
Ne supporte pas la haute définition, peu pratique pour surfer sur internet.
Disque dur multimédia Wi-Fi, magnétoscope à disque dur de 80 ou 250 Go, accès à des services de vidéo à la demande, etc. L’Archos TV+ a plus d’un tour dans ce sac. Et quelques défauts.
