Hi all,
I know the Thomson HD box is good in fringe areas (not much good for anything else though!) but how good are the new Pace and Samsung HD boxes???
I'd be very interested to hear from anyone using these boxes in Europe.
regards
D.

Can anyone using the Pace, Samsung or Amstrad HD boxes in Europe please post as to the sensitivity with weak signals of the tuners?
regards

I have a Pace HD box and am located on the NE edge of Hamburg. No problems with this box attached to a T90 dish. Some breakup of channels during heavy snow/rain though. Reception is as good if not a little better than my previous Thomson SD Sky digibox.
