[QUOTE="billnot, post: 442869, member: 176016"] The point about the 2600C1 is that it was built using quality components. I have seen it stated that the reason for the change from the 2600 to the 430 was that the 2600 was simply too expensive to make. The 2600 is still just about the most reliable box there is. I sell them with a 6 months guarantee. I have never had a claim on that! In fact, the only ones I've ever replaced, guarantee or otherwise, have had tuners damaged in thunderstorms (together with the LNB). I agree with snap that the Amstrad is the least bad of the newer units. The answer to the Pace 440 / 445 overstrength signal problem is a Tecatel variable attenuator - a standard accessory in any new installation on the Costa Blanca, but completely unnecessary with a 2600 (or a 430N for that matter).
