DLO begins shipping HomeDock Deluxe

by Dave Caolo Apr 13th 2006 at 7:00AM

This is what Apple's Universal iPod Dock should do. When connected to your TV, the HomeDock Deluxe by DLO offers on-screen navigation of your iPod's music library (C.K. took a look at the original HomeDock in January). It works with all iPods that have a dock connector, and will also let you watch stored videos/photos via S-video or AV. The included 20-button remote may lack Apple's minimalist elegance, but you can use it to search album, artist, title genre and so on, as well as skip, replay, pause, etc. Plus, it charges your iPod while docked.

You can pick one up for $149.99US.

Grover's exactly right with his comment about its menu on TV limitations. I just got mine 2 days ago with a pretty scratched up remote. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being top score. I'll give HomeDock Deluxe a 7.5. Most of it owing to the functionality of music menu on the big screen. It's not as Delux-ious as it claims, just the facelift from previous homedock with TV out for music menu. You can read my review about it here. To date, I'm still awating response from DLO for a replacement remote.

Fugly onscreen interface.

It's worth noting that you can't use the onscreen interface or the remote to view videos. In other words, if you're sitting on your couch listening to music, you can switch to "video mode" using the remote, but then you have to get up and go across the room to iPod to actually choose your video.

I pre-ordered Griffin TuneDock which does the same thing, but I like the look of the Griffin one better...
