Anyone have any experience of ARCHOS 404/504/604 digital media players? I am considering buying one but I have read some worrying reviews that complain about dim screen, screen/disk failures, battery life etc.???
Also I cant make out from the description on the ACHOS website whether you can record TV/video out with the cabling that comes as standard or do you need to buy the fancy docking station??
Never record from the TV but you can do this but not sure if you need the docking station as I do
Also can play divx format so good for the **cough** films that I download
Battery life is ok but dont use the batteries that much and the screen size is adequate enough. Mainly use it for films and creative for music, Also bought accessories from datamind.co.uk to hook up in car
Overall would recommend it and on the Archos website think they are selling off returns
No came with it I have Archos 440 dont want to upgrade as no need to. Has a 20gb drive and I transfer movies from pc and then watch them on tv. Not sure if you can hook it up to tv without cradle?? Also have remote so can put it in the cradle and control it without having to get up from my sofa oh the joy
