The Archos DivX player is only capable of 352x240 pixel resolution. (CIV standard). An ordinary TV is capable of 704x480 pixel resolution (or the analog equivalent thereof). Hopefully, the EDIG/DivX team will do somewhat better than the Commodore 64ish (320x200 pixels) resolution achieved by Archos; SVGA (800x600) ought to be a minimal goal, with XGA (1024x768) following close behind.
