Looks like I am SOL. I can't get my PC to recognize my unit when I hook it up. I dropped mine too. I wish I had known about that silly serial number issue sooner.... ARGHHHHH!!!

Smith, P. - How do you back up your Archos system files? Do you have the steps you used to swap out your hard drive? Where did you get the little screwdriver to remove those special screws? Thanks!!

Welcome to the site!!! Have you contacted Dish, since this is their product?? Is it still under warranty? What does the file system look like when you connect it to Windows Explorer as a harddrive?

You should be able to connect the PD to the 942 via the SVHS cable and video cables and just treat it like a vcr. Choose the program you want to record and set up the recording parameters on your PD. It's pretty simple to do.

What is "Cinema Pak"?

I believe he was just sharing information since that was their big announcement the other day.

You can use the archos units with Dish. It would act like a vcr mostly. You just don't have all of the interactive features that a dish model would give you.

In case you haven't seen this already. Take a look at the entire new Archos (PocketDish) lineup at CNET: Click and lust: http://reviews.cnet.com/4321-6499_7-...?tag=cnetfd.mt All players should be available by the end of September. The 504 sports a hard drive up to 160 GB.

Too bad we can't upgrade the harddrives on our current units to the 160gb.. man that would be sweet.

Yep, navychop is right. Wait.

Welcome to the forum!!!!!

No, it does not look like it has the normal video inputs from what i can tell. Maybe someone at the DishStore can give you more details.

$149 unit??? Which model is that? For the best details go to Archos website at www.archos.com.

Sorry, that's just my understanding of the "to go" services which is actually called 'PlaysForSure'. I can't use them since I only have a dinosaur pc with win98 on it and media player 7. Maybe if you check out the www.playsforsure.com website you can research your player to see if they can help.

The "to go" services are supposedly those pcs with XP, or windows mediaplayer 10.

I am pretty sure that those early PD models will come down in price since Archos is set to release some pretty slick models later this year. I love my AV700 unit. I bought mine before Dish invested in them.

I don't know about that. I remember when the AV500 and av700 were available here, they were all selling at the MSRP, or above on ebay..

Well, i checked with Archos on that iTunes plugin. From what I understand this is supposed to work when you transfer an iTunes file from a MAC computer... go figure... so, it's not doing us Windows people any good...

Yeah there is supposed to a turbocharged model coming out soon... Here are a couple of links to some things I ran across: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=266 http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/05/archos-roadmap-reveals-wifi-dtv-and-3-5g-enabled-pmps/ I even found a link in the first...

I don't know, but watching a movie on a screen the size of the back of my digital camera (for reference purposes since most people today do have one of those) versus watching it on a 7" inch screen doesn't even compare... Talk about squinting your eyes to watch a video...

Do those diplexers have 2 ins and 2 outs on them?

So, on the diagram are you feeding the TV out signal from the splitter back up through the signal that is coming to the receiver via the diplexer?

Well you could always remove the baseboard trim and cut a little hole there first. That way you can stick the trim up without having to patch the hole, if you aren't into the drywall fixing mode...

I've seen people install PVC pipe and run it the length of the floor with openings at both ends. Then you just tie a string to a pretty good sized nut and stick a shop vac on the other end to pull it to you... Then you just tape the string to the cables and pull them through..

I've downloaded quite a bit of stuff to my Archos and it really makes a difference if you up those recording variables on the setup screen.
