FOUND BY: martins_uk 2 months, 2 weeks ago

STARTS: 06/09/2008   EXPIRES: 06/09/2008

Archos 405 6GB, 3.5" LCD Multimedia Centre with Travel DVR & Extended Battery £76.44 + delivery @ QVC. Pay over 2 months at no extra cost. Also 5% Quidco available. This price for today (Saturday) only.

For those of you who have never shopped with QVC before, I can highly recommend them.

Play videos and music on the go with the Archos 405 multimedia player at the lowest price we've ever offered! It's pocket size with a 3.5" LCD screen. It has a long playback time and includes a battery dock that you can charge on the go. You can store up to 2 movies, 20,000 photos or 1,000 songs on its 2GB internal memory - plus, with an extra 4GB SD card, you can expand this to a 6GB storage. It also includes a travel DVR adaptor that lets you record from the TV to your player. It measures about 99.6mm x 78mm x 13.2mm (3.9" x 3.07" x 0.5").

sick deal, the archos 405 is usually 73 quid, then the battery dock is 25 quid and the travel dvr is like 30 quid also. so 127 quid, and you are getting it for 82 quid. Plus qvcs customer service is great. My archos broke like 5x, and they are giving me a refund.

I've had similar excellent service. Broke the strap on a watch I got from them after 7 months of wearing it (my fault). I didnt even have the packaging any more. Full refund no questions asked. Show me anywhere else where they would do that.

This has had extremely bad reviews on QVC. Might be worth going there is find out before buying this.

I realise that it is a slightly different build, but it is the same item really.

If you do wanrt one of these this is still a better deal than anywhere else I've found. And as its QVC you can always send it back (just risking your p&p). Thanks for the heads up though...willl help people to decide.

The 405 range seems to fare better here:

Most of the monas seem to relate to the DVR station, the EPG and how to cabke it all up.
This Archos offer onlyhas the simple travel DVR, I think that means the main issues are with the Home DVR use and the overall product is OK!????
I'm getting one to try with a Helmet Cam, should be less weight that a Camcorder when skiing next year!
QVC just announced only70 left in stock!

Looking at the QVC video, I dont think the travel adapter has an epg/freeview box built in - it is just soemthing that allows the unit to record from another source, such as a freeview box or dvd etc. Let me know if I am wrong though...
