Sky
Receiver Decoder Digibox - Thomson
DSI4214

There are four types of Sky digibox that look exactly the same, as in the
above picture. Two from Pace (DS440 and DS445), one from Thomson (DSI4214),and
one from Amstrad (DRX550).
AVOID THE THE MODELS DS440 and DS445 FROM PACE!!!!
I, and other installers, have found these to have very poor tuners, and do
not receive the weaker channels as long as the Thomson. They are also prone
to component failure. A very poor receiver for Spain from Pace.

Ch5 & Sky with the user friendly on screen Sky Guide, widescreen output &
