Homedock Deluxe? Almost.. Not Quite
This is the third generation homedock deluxe from DLO and it is the best so far, but still a few issues that should've been addressed being a muti generation unit. It is one of the only docks that I found to hook up to my tv to navigate my music and videos stored on my ipod. If you don't have many songs on your ipod or don't care about seeing the song names and album covers on your tv than this may not be the dock for you. If your like me (musically insane) and have massive amounts of music to browse through or if you like the party setting so your guests can see the artist and song names that are playing, than this is one of your only choices on the market today.

This dock works pretty much as advertised, with a few noted exceptions:

Album art: thumbnail loads instantly, larger format takes about 40 seconds to load and while it loads you are stuck... ie: no skipping songs/browsing your catalog of goods.

Remote is a little tempermental and sometime gets a mind of it's own when browsing categories, skipping tracks, ect...

The remotes range is pretty sad, even with new batteries the angles are horrible and you must be straight on to use it.

DLO has an upgrade to "fix" these issues. In trying todo the firmware upgrade i've blown two docks and am on my third unit. (the other two were exchanged at the store where I purchased)

I tried to contact DLO by email from their web site and unfortunatley after three days I discontinued trying (you just can't count on good tech support nowdays!!!)

But, even with the aforementioned downfalls this is still a desent unit and addresses my needs for the time being.

Disappointed, Scrren menu is a problem
I originally purchase the DLO HomeDeck 3.0 to replace a previously purchased DLO HomeDeck that wouldn't operate properly due to the remote not functioning. I was disappointed with my new DLO when it kept blinking on my screen because my TV (1999 model) couldn't handle the on-screen menu function. Because it couldn't bring the menu functions on the TV, nor play a movie withont blinking every 5 seconds; my DLO became an over price charger. In future they should allow for the on-screen menu to be an option to turned off or on.

Bad video output
This product looked to have a lot of potential, and probably can do some cool things for the money, however its video output was defective out of the box (had a very fuzzy video feed)...additionally it should have the ability to jump/search alphabetically as lots of music equals lots of frustration.
