Hands-on with the Archos 605 fifth-gen PVP

The 605 can be hooked up to your TV, Sky box or cable receiver and works as a fully-fledged DVR, with a nifty electronic programme guide that'll schedule the recording of any show you choose.

Once you're plugged into your TV you can sit back and use the remote control to browse through your media on-screen. All your networked content can be accessed via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. This also means those wonderful YouTube videos can be enjoyed full-screen on your HDTV.

If the thought of pixellated 320x240-resolution Web videos doesn't appeal, why not throw some 720p high-definition video into the mix -- the 605 can handle HD-quality video through the TV dock's component output.
