Well I'm gonna dump my Humax (and possibly my Sony) in favour of the Pace
so
I hope it at least lives up to it's standards of EPG. The Sony is
particularly good in this respect. The disc space is a bit of a worry and
am
not sure what the biggest drive available is in 2.5" or the price.

Don't be silly - keep them all - you can daisy chain them!

Look ABC1 and ITV3 are coming out soon and you may need to record a number
of things at the same time.

I need another PVR but not sure what to get - remote control issues stop me
getting another Twin as they would clash!!!!!!

No I mean watch the actual broadcasted program on that channel rather than
watching the recording as it records of the broadcasted program, like a
monitor sw on a cassette deck. The Humax only lets you watch the recording
in progress as it records rather than the live broadcast. Luckily the
quality difference appears of such small insignificance.

I think I answered this already in a way, but you watch the off air
broadcast not the actual recording.

And in any case, because the Pace's HD records the incoming signal with
no compression at all, the two are indistinguishable, so it's
irrelevant.

As header..... now looks worth divulging into given reduced price and
software updates.

Best price I've seen is £176.49

Buy direct from Pace for 175 (save 1.49!!)

I couldn't find the relevant page on the Pace site to buy direct.

You're right, the offer has gone from the website. You could try phoning
them.


I got one from Pace recently with the original software, I did not have
any problems with it, except there was no digital text and the EPG is very
s-l-o-w.

Has the EPG performance been improved in the latest software updates?

It's much faster than it was with the original software. Occasionally
you still have to wait a minute for it to fill up.

What is the largest HDD drive/s you can install?

Big as you like, I think, I've heard of several people putting 60GB ones
in
