Sky+ Receiver Decoder Digibox - Pace TDS470N

There are a few types of Sky+ / Sky Plus digibox that look very similar. The best performer is the Pace 3100. The Pace TDS470N can be identified by the fact that the Sky viewing card slot is on the left hand side of the front panel. Other Sky+ boxes, with the viewing card slot in the middle or right of the front panel do not perform as well.

This Sky+ digibox offered by Pace which features an upgraded 80Gb hard disk ( approximately 40 hours of storable recorded footage ). This digibox enables you to pause live TV or record one programme while watching another. You can even instruct the receiver to record episodes from your favourite series, all this without the use of videotapes. The onscreen menu is very easy to use, simply highlight the channel you wish to record and press the record button. It will automatically record at the time the programme starts, plus if you have instructed it to record several other programmes at different times it will record those as well.

A Sky+ subscription required to use Personal Video Recorder features of Sky+ ( free while you subscribe to any Sky digital package, otherwise £10 a month ).

Please note that a Sky Plus digibox requires two separate cable connections from your satellite dish. This means that your dish needs to be fitted with either a Twin or a Quad LNB. If the LNB on your dish only has one output port on it then you will have to upgrade your LNB.

It is possible to upgrade the hard disk drive for larger capacity and to provide more recording hours.

This box does will work with the Sky Anytime TV service.
