Votre avis :

So what starts out as a promising challenger soon becomes nothing more than something that you should probably avoid.



That's not to say its all bad. The Archos does have some nice features like the ability to record from the television, the greater file format support such as MPEG4, WMV, H.264 up to DVD resolution and AAC sound, and MPEG2 MP@ML up to 10Mbps and AC3 stereo sound although no DivX, and the ability to plug your camera or camcorder straight in and start watching, then there is the ability to take content off and take it with you.



But once you realise that the interface is awful, many of the features aren't included in the price and it doesn't support HD it all goes downhill.



Disappointing.

A clunky interface and expensive plug-ins undermine a potentially interesting product.

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 on-demand content is as-yet limited, and its user interface - borrowed from the Archos PMPs - is clunky and unintuitive to use with a remote control.



What makes this all the more galling, however, is that to get full functionality out of the TV+ you have to buy, download and manually install a handful of extra plug-ins. And that, unfortunately, is the final nail in this product's coffin.
