SanDisk Sansa TakeTV (4GB)
CNET Reviews – Oct 22, 2007
html At a Glance Release date: ctober 22 2007 Editors’ rating: 7. 4 Very good Average user rating: 5. 0 Average The good: Enables easy viewing of DivX Xvid and MPEG4 videos on your TV; setup and operation couldn’t be simpler; premium content available via Fanfare online service; flexible aspect ratio control; doubles as a standard flash drive; modest price tag. The bad: Compatibility limited to only three video file formats; no support for photos or music; remote design is somewhat awkward; Fanfare Web site currently has very limited content options and–for now at least–it’s not viewable on other devices such as PCs or portable media players. The bottom line: The SanDisk Sansa TakeTV delivers plug-and-play simplicity for watching downloaded videos on your TV. hide (x)CNET editors' review Reviewed by: John P… In other words despite its maximum supported DVD-level resolution of 720×480 (720×576 for PAL) critical viewers will notice some telltale compression artifacts: softness jaggies and color solarization. That said it was still eminently watchable on a 50-inch plasma. And the sample DivX videos (skiing and base jumping footage) included looked noticeably better–a testament to the TakeTV’s potential when better video encoding is used (albeit at the expense of much larger file sizes). What didn’t we like? File compatibility is decent–DivX is always a nice feature–but a wider range of formats would’ve been even better. Don’t expect the TakeTV to play back your WMV Quicktime and other digital movies. Likewise it would be great if the TakeTV could also double as a makeshift photo viewer or music player–but it didn’t recognize any of our JPEG or MP3 files when docked. (That said the TakeTV works fine as a standard flash drive–you can use it to transport any type of files between PCs.

Cleverly the TakeTV also has a holster which doubles up as a remote control and SanDisk has made it compatible with ‘Fanfare’ a new beta site which will provide direct (and legal) download access to classic TV shows and movies. Naturally enough the TakeTV is yet another offshoot of the licensing deal SanDisk.
