I have one of these and I love it. It’s great to bring movie files over to those relatives houses who don’t burn DVDs or own a TIVO. It’s simple to use just plug in the video and audio cables (usually located on the front of those older model TVs). Use the remote to select the file you want to watch and press play. It has a fast forward and rewind option.
The usb stick is plug and play creates a drive on your PC. Simply drag and drop files into the drive.

I have the 8GB model and the software can convert the vacation movies from my old digital camera to widescreen! It does this quickly but of course I did build a very fast computer. Just wish it could show the photos as a slide show. Silly of them not to include that option. I suppose they will eventually get their web site going so I can download shows for it.

I think the TakeTV is definitely a cool concept. I wouldn’t mind buying one someday.

Nice piece of equipment, but there are many alternatives. Many people have ipod videos that have a video out function, and as already pointed out dvd’s and plus new psp’s have video out functions and iphones. so if yuo have none of the above then it would be good if you have a tv to play it on.

I have TakeTV for Linux and it works great, works even better when your USB drive is 8GB’s!

Nothing beats the iPhone in my opinion…

I currently use my Iubi Blue 60GB PMP to take my videos with me.

I like this because it supports the most common file types, the size is nice and compact whilst still having decent sized screen. Its far from perfect but it does what I want, store and play my videos.

I like this idea. But it does seem a little crude for what it is and the high price. The specs are 4 and 8 gigs. Rather small storage space. And the $150 price is too much for this gal. If storage were 10 gigs or more, it might be different. My 2 cents.

hey chris. I think that take tv is a pretty cool gadget. Instead of carrying a bunch of cd’s around you could just take movies and videos in a flashdrive. I also heard of another thing which I think you have thats called Slingbox.I think thats a great gadget too. You could watch your tv from your laptop at the airport when there’s delays or anywhere else.

One blank DVD is 4GB and costs about what? 25 cents?
And don’t you have a remote on your TV/DVD player anyway?

Don’t over complicate things too much. It’s a nice toy, but nothing else.

If I had an iPod I would use that.
But for now I use my 2GB SD Card, 1GB Pen drive and 120GB hard disk.
