I have used this many times to record TV shows for viewing at a different time. It works well with my 605wi-fi Archos device. from Amazon.com Info: Video can be S-Video or Composite. Controllable video sources include Cable Box, Satellite, DVD Recorder, Digital TV, and VCR. from Amazon.com This docking station works beautifully with my home entertainment center, enabling me to play music, video, and photo slideshows on my Archos 605 WiFi media player on my TV and sound system. I can also connect to my wireless network to access network files and the Internet. from Amazon.com DVR Station for Gen 5 is great "Once you buy the program from ARCHOS", which is not included with hardware. It can record from from a TV, DVD, RGB (not the new HDMI, which shouldn't matter as the resolution is great, even if you shoot it back to the Tv from the device, rips to around 1GB for a 2 1/2 hr movie). from Amazon.com A word of caution for the DVR unit. Leaving the archos 605 docked to a plugged-in DVR 24/7 will kill the battery. My 605 160gb was perfect for about a year. from Amazon.com Well, I might of rated this product higher had I not had to send it in for repair after owning it for just one month. I have read other reviews that say the DVR Station sucks. from Amazon.com It is a bit pricey but for what it does it. It is worth every penny. I can't see a reason to buy an archos with out one. from Amazon.com I often use this to record a show if I am busy elsewhere. It works very well for recording, but the menu is sometimes a hassle. Also, I believe that you have to have the cable box set on the correct channel to record. I also want to note that for a time the server was down that you use to update your TV guide (which is normally as easy process). from Amazon.com When I received it, there was a little rattle that I could hear, but it worked fine. After about a month of use, all of the sudden it would not work. It would charge the Archos fine, but no output to the TV. I contacted Archos and they had me send it in, on my dime. from Amazon.com This DVR station is the best complement for the Archos 605 because it charges the device in about 3 hours. Its really smaller than I thought and really light. from Amazon.com
