Hi Andy,
I have heard nothing but bad reviews from people with these boxes - they have
all taken them back.
For what it's worth, I have an older Pace box which I got in 2003 with twin
tunor, and although it only has 20 gb, it works for me fine. However, I do
have a bit of site, and have had issues where a command I have entered hasn't
been entered (usually due to the remote control not pointing exactly in the
right direction), and I prefer to enter in the programs using the EPG rather
than the manual input screen.
A lot of people like the Fusion and Humax boxes (may be by the same
manufacturer).
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] More on set top boxes
Hi all -
My research on this so far, has produced the below item from Argos, which looks
pretty much what I'm after, but I'm wondering about it's accessibility, so
anybody seen one or using one? any body got any comments on Sagem as a brand?
Also Elsewhere, I have seen something called the IPLAYER plus that seems to
have the ability to deliver the audio described signal, it claims to be the
only top box to do this, is this true does anybody know? And will it record, or
is it just a receiver? Grateful for any help in this mine field!
