We like:
Excellent TV picture and reception; ability to record on the move; large screen
We don't like:
Sound output is too quiet; it's heavy; basic electronic programme guide
You might also need:
PC or Mac for transferring video; better quality headphones
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Aside from a few minor flaws, the AV 700 TV is an excellent product. It's certainly the best mobile digital TV we've seen, and the fact that it also features video, music and photo playback is a huge bonus

Archos goes full circle with the AV 700 TV, adding a Freeview tuner so you can watch live television on the move as well as viewing prerecorded programmes from the hard drive. Will you be tuning in or turning it off?

More lovely than a Care Bear in drag. More delicious than ten Skittles baked in a pie. Ladies and gentlemen, 'tis the dual-tuner Archos AV700 TV
