4 out of 5 stars Better than the DVR Unit almost twice its price.......2007-11-16

I bought the DVR station before i bought the DVR Travel Adapter, and let me tell you, if you actually plan on taking your archos with you to play movies somewhere, or record stuff while your on the road, this unit is far superior over the DVR Station. The only downside to the DVR travel Adapter is that they don't actually give you a plug with it, which to me seems really strange, or actually more of their way of making you get the DVR station, which actually does come with a plug. In all reality though if you actually can find a plug that works from somewhere else, you'll do just fine. The quality of the video on my 604 comes out great using it, and i can create a timer to record with teh archos. If you ask me archos is one of the finest, and most intuitive players made, the only problem being that their marketing ploy of trying to make you get two to five additional things to make it do one thing you want it to do is very sneaky. If they just included some of these things from the get-go, and stopped using europe as an excuse for why they sell their units the way they do, they could be as big if not bigger than even the best seller out there. I understand optioning up, but really, an electric plug costs the manufacturer no more than 2 or three bucks. They could just add it into the price. I am just glad I went with the 604 as they included so many things on it that their later counterparts didn't get. I always say read up before you buy, and this product line is no exception.

5 out of 5 stars I Love It - Best Accesory.......2007-07-17

Great adaptor, I highly recommend getting it for your Archos 504, makes it so much better and is so worth it!

3 out of 5 stars A little disappointed.......2007-04-01

I was a little disappointed with this accessory, because although it does what it says it does, it doesnt actually do everything right out of the box.

Yes, you can use itto charge your Archos, but you have to buy the power adapter separately. Yes, you can use it to store pictures from a digital camera, but the input wire provided is a VIDEO input (the kind with thre wires - two audio and one video) so... you can plug it into a dvd or vcr or even a cam-coreder, but not a digital camera.

I thought about using this on vacation. I could download pictures from my little digital camera whenever the card filled up, and keep my archos charged! Great idea, if I fork out $ for 2 more wires. I don't even know what kind of wire would even work for a digital camera. I assume its something I need to get from Archos since I have never seen a wire from camera to mini plug like this. For what it actually can do out of the box, the dvr station which I already had does too, and it comes with the necessary wires.

So... in conclusion, its a handy accessory, but it's not a complete package. As is I havent used it once since I got it because I dont have the wires I need, and the dvr station is all I really needed. Since the DVR station isn't really THAT big, I could probably use that on vacation too... but since I already bought the travel adapter, I probably will end up getting whatever other wires I need. I LOVE my Archos, and thats the only reason I have ended up spending so much money on all the add-ons. It is the only product I've seen that actually IS worth it!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent slimline addon.......2007-01-25

This was the first adapter I purchased after taking the huge dvr station with me on a couple trips. If your thinking about buying the Helmet camera; it comes with this exact base. (so now I have two).

4 out of 5 stars Good - but takes getting used to.......2007-01-19

OK - it ain't no ipod. It aint intuitive, it aint simple. But darn it, its gooooood! 10 mins on this little machine and you get the basic idea. Play around some more and it becomes clear. The 604 is a little heavier then I expected but not too bad.
I had to get the travel adapted since there is no way to record TV directly and I have not yet found a way to record TV without using the scheduler. And the scheduler is easy to use - so a couple of misses but now I am happy!
The screen is bright and clear and hardly any washout with sunlight. I wouldn't play any videos on a plane I wouldn't want my neighbor to see ;) the audio is a little low (I use the 604 on a plane so the background rumble seeps in a bit). The internal speaker is not great and do not use the headphones that come with it. Seriously.
The battery life so far is very good, although without getting the extra power cord charging is only from the USB, which means every time I have to change the power settings on my laptop so that the laptop doesn't sleep.
In short:
Pros: Beautiful device, better then anything I have used so far (better then the `pod) Nice big and bright screen, good audio, good battery
Con: Not the device itself, but be factor in $100 more to get everything extra from Amazon - I would recommend the DVR base or at least the travel adapter and the power cord.
I have had it for 1 month now. 4 stars is for great device, missed a star for poor included accessories and a time is takes to get used to the 604
Recommendation: buy!
