Does anyone know why it can't record HD recordings?
Is it on DISH end or the Archos player capabilities?
Thanks!

I think this one is actually Archos's fault. There were rumors of an HD plug-in for the 5th gen players, and the TI chipset spec sheet claimed that it could handle 720p. But I think Archos got to testing it out with a variety of input file formats, and found it's playback insufficiently smooth. The HD plug-in was never released.
The new Archos Internet Media Tablets (generation 6) can do 720p HD playback IIRC. But so far as I have heard, no Dish Network plug-in is available for any gen 6 players.
Edit: Argh! I answered a question you didn't ask. I thought you wanted to transfer a Dish receiver's recorded HD program to your Archos via USB.
What are you trying to do, exactly? You want to plug your 705 into a DVR station, and then record the output of a Dish Network HD receiver using the component outputs?

As far as highspeed USB transfer, The archos players dont do Mpeg4 so no dish HD and they wont work at all, even for standard def, on eastern arc.
This is not correct! SD mpeg-4 is their native video format. The flavor I use most often on my 404CC is divx. Not only will Archos players play back mpeg-4 videos, they can also record in this format.
