Apple TV Killer? Is the Archos TV+ everything it's cracked up to be?

If it were capable of impromptu HD recording at 30 fps, then it would completely trounce the AppleTV and numerous DVR devices.

Its a sad piece of garbage, basic StandarDefention recording [even thru its Component Inputs], plays very few types of files [unless you pay thry\u the nose and then it still wont pay many of todays files] and basic watch while you record DVR capabilities don't exist... this is no better than a VCR

yes it will work but just as a keyboard to type but not to navigate as remote control. The reference to (6.1) is related to the software I guess but it's already since a couple of versions that it works. I've used it also with the previous Apple TV and works without problem.

As T. Grundy notes, the 3808 only supported iPod play via the ASD-3N dock - which I found to be clunky and flaky - and expensive. What has worked way better is playing from my iPod via AppleTV or a bluetooth device like the Belkin HD BT Receiver. Both support hi-fidedilty connections and eliminate caring about the connector (30-pin vs Lightning). AppleTV is about $100 and requires Apple ID but offers good on-screen info. The Belkin wireless receiver is about the same size, costs $60-80, and doesn't require any account, but doesn't show anything on screen. Both have worked well for me with my Denon. As T.

I can't find any evidence of an Apple HDTV release. Do you have a link?I imagine an Apple HDTV will be significantly more expensive.

i have the archos 5 right now and am trying it out.no luck :( i click on devices and the archos 5 doesn't pop up. i am very disappointed.Edit: IT WORKS! YOU HAVE TO SET THE USB PREFERENCE: WINDOWS MEDIA DEVICE. Then it will work. The quality isn't the greatest but it works.

I have two of these as well as two AppleTvs.They work fine with the current Mac iTunes. The problem used to be the older protected AAC files which will not play over the streamed network.

Sorry, I only use the TV to watch cable programs and Apple TV. My only issue is the volume is a little low.

I recommend getting Apple TV. It is cheaper and does a lot more. I returned my squeezebox and saved $200 for the apple tv

Personally, I got one because the resolution and low-light capabilities are much better than those on the 4.5 year old iMac I have. It works with every app I use on the Mac, so I am glad I purchased it. Yes, some of the Photo Booth effects don't work with it - probably because they're hardcoded to a lower resolution - but otherwise it'd better than the iSight.I'm not sure what you mean by working with a TV, but it absolutely works with a Mac and will do Skype.

Sorry. I don't have an apple tv system. It works wonderfully with MBA 2013 to HDTV. I watch hulu and Netflix all the time using it.

No problem. It should work right out of the box. If not, then you just have to couple it with your apple TV but all of mine have just worked.

Yes, Hulu Plus has a native apple tv app, but if you jailbreak and install xbmc and add 1channel and icefilms, you can get everything for free through there!

Thank you so much for the advice. I am able to understand the description and technical details. Looking at these rather complex routes, I am being advised to buy Apple TV. I will first try to use PBO and see if I can make use of it.With regards,u.s.

okay, I read a little further and it sounds like another significant difference is that you can't play from the archos to an external TV with the travel DVR, but you can with the home DVR... sounds like you also have to pay extra for a power cord for the travel DVR ...crazy.

I have my Apple TV connected directly to the range extender and works well with it. Air play works fine (I.e. Watching an Amazon Prime video streamed from my IPad). The only time I had some issues was when I tried to use everything through wifi. The connection, was kinda slow, I guess Ethernet will always beat wifi when it comes to video streaming.

I only had problems with apple tv where I had to change the audio output to a compatible mode. So, you are right it doesn't accept all audio formats.

This has been working fine for me for almost 3 years now. I purchased the SR7002 in August of 2010 and the Apple TV is about as old, it's the small black version. It's either the port on the Marantz, the cable or the ATV. You'll need to troubleshoot.
