Archos 605 and 705 now support Dish DVR transfers
We've always had an inkling that Archos was making some content moves around its Generation 5 PMPs, and the latest is pretty sweet: a plug-in download from Archos.com now enables the 605 and 705 to transfer shows and movies directly from Dish VIP622 and VIP722 DVRs over USB 2.0. There's no mention of pricing in the press release, so we're assuming it'll be a free download, and the plug-in should be available "today," although we're not currently seeing it. You know, with the Sling relationship and now this deal with Archos, it kind of seems like Dish actually wants customers to view its content as they see fit -- any of the other satellite or cable companies paying attention here?[Warning: PDF read link]

What about HD content?

There was a software update on December 4th that enabled these players on the 622 and 722. If you want to check to be sure you have the right version. It is: L4.48.

The Archos can't play HD files so they would need to be downconverted.
