I am still debating whats wrong with me just do it, the cheapest Archos I can find with a DVD station is twice as much money, one fina question, can it record DVD's straight from my DVD player or has it got to be done through a PC.

keef 1.You can copy your dvd through the dvd player in the home,all the wires are supplied.you can record tv.Have a look at the manual again it should say about it in there.
Oh i think i should get commission from Grundig now !

Thanks imho, have the manual now, ( do blokes ever read them) I do I just never understand them, one last question honest! on the grundig site their does not seem to be a padlock on the credit card page? I assume that it is secure.

imho

Yipes ,i never noticed that at all.But if you pay by Visa your covered anyway.
I would think there must be some safety thing on that page ?

imho

jago25_98.This is bigger than a ipod.It has too be really as if it was too small you wouldn't be able to see the dvd you have loaded on there .
In the case that's supplied its 5 inches across by 3+ half inches down
I think i see on ebay someone sells a cover for the screen,so it dont get scratched,about £4 i think,but the case that comes with it covers the screen up nicely,but you have to lift the front cover up to see the screen

had a look at the properties and it says the following, TLS 1.0, RC4 with 128 bit encryption (High); RSA with 1024 bit exchange


so I am assming that it is ok.

What a great find - it was an amazing price of £120 and I was debating about it but now its under £100 its a totally amazing price. Just for a 30gb music player you would pay more - see the other threads in grabbt....but add on that it can play video and has a cracking colour screen aswell - this is an unbeatable deal!

Time to throw my old trusty Archos away....

Advice needed, which one is best, this or the Archos AV 700 40gb, obviously the archos has a bigger memory but quality wise does anyone know?
