Archos DVR for Game Film?

How do you get the unit to the cameraperson before the game? How do you get it back after the game? Do you trust your unit is still safe, even if they go the snack counter and bathroom at halftime? I assume there's a connection that allows a hookup to a TV, otherwise it might be hard for you and your partners to see much detail? At some point, I would assume you're going to want to download the game off the unit unto a DVD, so why not get it in that form to start with from the school?

The reason I am interested in this thing to begin with is because we RARELY can get game tape or DVDs in Ohio. Usually we have to beg and then by the time they get around to it, no one cares anymore. Also, they have to expend effort (burning the extra DVD) mailing etc. This way - its plug and play.

Agreed, the screen is small but you can output to a TV with it or I'm guessing copy the file to a laptop or PC (I think it has built in WiFi). I'd watch mine on my laptop if that is the case.

If this thing works, the only pitfall is trusting the camera guy with it. The upside is huge...if you are into tape anyway.
