Design; a nice idea on paper
Cost; lack of HD support; lack of codec support; video plug-ins cost extra
Archos TV+ is too expensive, lacks support for some key codecs out of the box and doesnt offer any form of HD functionality. Its ability to record from DVD or Freeview/Sky/Cable STB might interest some with Archos PMPs ...
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.
