Shiny Shiny has reviewed the Archos AV700TV and commented favorably on the "digital television portable". 'The AV700 TV's main reason for existence is the ability to watch digital television on the move. To support this, there's a 7" screen, which dominates the handset. This is an ample size for watching TV comfortably, particularly since there's a fold out support stand which means you don't have to keep it clutched in your hands. Finding the channels is also a simple matter of connecting the antennas to the unit and scanning for channels - with the right orientation of the aerials you can pick up a full complement of fifty plus digital channels.

I was treated to "I'm a self-confessed Queen of Tarts" Trisha episode in a matter of seconds, and once you're there, it's just one button to activate the record function. Perfect for reliving the moment her DNA results/true sexuality/actual weight is revealed. Because it's a digital recording, it's stored in an intelligent fashion, with the name of the programme as the file name. The digital tuner also means that you get the familiar 'now and next' displayed at the bottom of the screen, although no further than this, which Sky users might miss. '
