Comments about Archos TV+ 80GB WiFi Digital Video Recorder:
I actually have the 250 GB Archos TV, I have had it since June of 2008 and I absolutely LOVE it! The only down side to it is that the TV guide is not reliable, right now it is down. So I just press record when my show comes on, I don't bother with the TV guide. And Another downside is that the clock is sometimes off and when the time changes to your record time, it doesn't start recording. So do yourself a favor and record (if you can) a couple of hours before a show comes on if you are not going to be present when it starts.
Other than those small issues, the Archos is incredible! I LOVE watching shows from 3 months ago over and over again!!!!
