I have held back up button in, and the plugged into mains but as mentioned the green light comes on at the same time as all the other lights on the front panel (3) and the message comes up on the screen.

I have just purchased a pace 2600 digibox on e-bay. By looking at the model no it appears to be an older model. I have most things working (I subscribe to sky through my brother in uk). Unfortunately my epg software is 3.4.4b I have tried to force an update by the usual methods. However when I...

Thanks for advice, my epg software is 3.4.4b. Is this problem? What are the disadvantages?

My brother rang sky again and now I can get Sky Sports. They said the problem was that the epg software was not updated. However I have not yet performed a forced software update and sky sports work. What are the problems with not having the latest epg software? Iceman, Sky news and sky 1 have...

I live in S Sweden, I have had Sky Sports for almost 14 years, obtained via my brother in London. I have just changed my digibox to a Pace 2600 (installed yesterday) after recommendations from various members on the forum. I can get the normal sky programmes, and my brother rang Sky yesterday...

I have tried the above, but was unsuccessful. Is it a dish problem or a receiver problem? I hopefully will have obtained a Pace 2600 within the next 3 weeks.

You are quite right about the frequency, I had transposed the figure. I know that I can manually enter the frequency 11307 and Vertical and27500 and the Fec(?) 2/3 on my present digibox, but how do I enter the transponder C4L? Or will this automatically be found? sorry for my ignorance.

Having spent a huge part of the last 2 working days investigating my problem, I think I will opt for the easiest solution, which is to buy a Pace 430 N on eBay. If al the channels including Sky move to the Astra 2D then I will get a larger dish, unless there is a solution via broadband at that...

Once again, thanks, the link however seems to be incorrect.

Thanks very much for the info, you are quite right that I would need a minimum 1.8m dish to receive BBC and ITV. However I can receive Ch5 and US5 and have just changed the frequency for the Ch4 channels and receive pixelated pictures, so hopefully this would improve with a new digibox. I would...

My dish is smaller than yours, not sure that my wife would allow a 1.8 m dish in the garden as I was informed it's too big to put on roof. I started losing channels and certain channels such as sky 1 is pixelated and takes about 15-30 mins to get a proper picture. see my thread disappearing...

Corrigap, dont live so far from you (Malmö), can I ask you where you bought your Pace 2600 and what size dish you have? I have a sky card through a UK address and at present a Pace 2200(?). I would prefer a Pace because there possibly will be no problems with remote as I understand it is the...

My apologies for asking a question that has most likely been asked before, but here goes. I live in S Sweden, have had one of the first sky digiboxes (Pace) which is now 9-10 yrs old. I have been recommended to update my receiver, and have been looking at Pace DS 430 N on ebay costing about...

Thanks for your reply, I have contacted my brother in the uk in an attempt to utilise Sky's £99 offer for a sky+ digibox, however the insist on a £60 installation by their engineer. Can you suggest a Pace box or alternative that works in S Sweden. It's not necessary for it to perform sky +...

Tried this frequency and to my surprise I managed to receive reception to all the C4 and E4 alternatives, the only problem being that it takes up to a half hour for the picture to settle down without pixilation problems etc. This problem may be because the signal seems to be on the weak side...
