I also bought one from Makro but they were out of stock and took my money.
They rang me today to say I could collect and when I did I was presented
with a Sony box instead of a Pace - initially I was a little concerned as it
clearly states on the outside of the box that teletext & interactive
services are not supported whereas the ad for the Pace shows that they are -
however I then spied the optical audio out connector on the back which is a
feature I used a lot on my Nokia. I'll let you know how fast it is on
channel changes but in my experience they are all pitifully slow.

   Des - I might have someone who can use the Pace box if you don't want the
hassle of taking it back - or maybe swap for a Sony - I can't get Pace units
for him from the local Makro.

  All the FTA boxes are quite slow...
  But the new (silly looking) ?99 Pace box is supposed to be a bit faster...

  Painfully slow.
