Pace - Freeview Digital TV Receivers

Your comments:Make and model: Pace Twin Digital Recorder Features: 20 gb hard drive, twin skarts, two digital decoders (watch one chanel/record another), rf loopthrough, optical out etc Comments: Grate box, I have been unable to fault the box since purchase, the only small problem is the remote is perhaps a little too long. Currently there is no digital text on it, but it is possible to update over the air to firmware which will work with digital text. Quality of recordings are grate, the hard drive is virtually silent (unless you put your ear to the box). UI similar to that of the TV adaptor from same manufacturer. Well worth the money.

HOWEVER WHEN I GOT A NEW SONY WIDE SCREEN TV I FOUND I COULD NOT ADJUST THE COLOUR ON THE TV, NO MATTER WHAT I DID THE COLOUR REMAINED THE SAME(I LIKE THE COLOUR TURNED DOWN A BIT). I HAVE NOW DISCONNECTED IT.

He has had an upgraded arial (installed last year) but we cannot recieve any ITV channels - he especially wants ITV2 for the Tour de France in July. I have also got hom a sattelite dish (no subscription) and he is unable to get ITV2 on this although he does recieve lots of other channels. Any ideas would be helpful. I would also like to know if anyone has any idea how to get Engilsh standard programmes ITV1, BBC1. in France and how much etc. My mother had a house in Brittany which we visit twice a year so we don't want to pay out too much. Help would be appreciated.

Had problems with Dixons who were reluctant to sell me the product as my postcode was "not in the transmission area". After some persistance they eventually sold me one and after having set it up the signal signal turned out to be 90%! As I say perfect picture, easy to use, no problem with the timer & able to receiveChannel 5 at last!

I have a large 4:3 projector and wanted to get digital TV for the 16:9 broadcasts. The Pace handbook for this unit expressly says that it will deliver 16:9 pictures to a 4:3 TV. The truth is, it doesn't. It has been modified by Pace to recognise the interim 14:9 ratio that is sent out by broadcasters, so in terms of picture size generally the viewer is still gets the disadvantages of viewing analogue transmissions. Secondly, Pace downloaded a timer modification some time ago, which was most welcome. However, once again, it is problematic: sometimes it doesn't bother to record, or else it records the wrong channel. I emailed Pace about this, and haven't received any reply. Finally I bought an ex-ITV Digital Pace DTR735, which has proved faultless (so far) with nice pictures, and a timer system that works. So I'm not bashing Pace as such. I just think the DTVA is a piece of kit to be avoided. Submitted by: TREVOR POPPLE (trevor.popple@granadamedia.com) Received on: Mon Feb 24 10:22:54 2003 from IP address: 213.38.69.36
