[ejmbon]

but with non hd prem channs works fine ?

What made you go for this box over the Humax?

[codex]

I've got one of those, I didn't know the XE had a working CI slot, i thought that was only the bigger 810 model, isn't the XE the cutdown or "lite" version?

I've got both of these receivers because they came for free of a mate, but still don't understand what I can get for free in terms of movie channels with these boxes nor how?

In contrast to the humax, the pace I think at least looks better and goes almost perfectly with my sammy r74 tv

[antc12]

I think it looks better than the Humax, but didn't see enough support to justify the purchase.
@ codex the only way you'll get HD movies with out a sub, is PW HD, which you can get via Diablo or T-rex 4.6 CAMS (some cards too but I never even look at these).

[ejmbon]

tried this because box is only £100 now

Blimey they've come down a lot.

Whats the picture quality like both SD and HD?

[ejmbon]

picture is stunning

What about standard def stuff mate?

Do you need a separate cam and how much would all this gear cost?

[antc12]

You would still need a cam for SD stuff too. I've got both cams mentioned above, I know the diablo is quite fussy about which receivers it will work in, so I would check compatability before paying out any money. The T-REX 4.6 is, I think, the better cam. Have you got a programmer? You will need one if you don't and they vary in price, the best one being the CAS 3 for around £50. Then the cams Diablo is about £50-60 and T-Rex is £90-100. These are only really any good if you have a dish that points / can point to Astra 19.2 East, as that's where the main packages (opened) are at the moment. Hope this helps.

hi all
i got one last week on **** £100 work perfect dragon cam works fine, the only problems are with the dragon cam is when you go to a prem hd scrambled chan it decodes ok then after 10 seconds the same message as ejambon mine is no sound as well
Any working cam please?
Thanks

[foxlighter]

ejimbon, you say it cost you £100, from where, which shop, and what hd reciever at you talking about,i have seen this pace 810 in the shop for £260,
plus do you get a hd hdmi lead with the box,foxlighter:D :D :D

[ejmbon]

from a well known auction site which i cant mention on here, it comes with scart cable and hdmi cable, the first thing you have to do is update software via astra, i think its somthing like v1.18, then you can use with a dragon cam,

[robbiemcd]

so can you view premeier hd channels with a suitable cam and this receiver ?

[GAH]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me if this receiver works with BBC HD channel on Astra 2 ?

Regards,
GAH

[jfman]

Works perfect with BBC HD.

[GazC]

Is the PACE compatible with both T-REX and Diablo (or just the former)?

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Once more question. Does it decode 4.2.2. feeds ? I know the humax doesn't, and the Quali does (although the Quali can't handle MPEG4).

No. Does not decode 4:2:2.
