Freesat box dimensions?

Faced with the choice of an expensive aerial upgrade to get decent
Freeview, or the Freesat system from Sky, I have a slightly unusual
dilemma in that I live in just about the smallest flat in Soho, and all my
TV gubbins is in a cupboard.

The low-profile Freeview box sits on a low-profile DVD player and the VHS
recorder sits on another shelf and the Panasonic TC22" LCD is on an arm
and, well, there's millimetres to spare frankly.

So, er, how big is a Sky box? Width and depth don't matter but height
could be a deciding factor!

TIA,

If they are the normal Sky boxes (i think they are) then you are looking
at around 36w 7h 27d (although my Amstrad wasn't quite so deep).

Hurry up and get yourself a Pace Javelin Sky box from someone like RoadPro:
http://roadpro.co.uk/productslink.asp?LID=1143 they are smaller than almost
any Freeview box I've seen.

BTW, does anyone know why they stopped making those boxes? They seem far
superior to any other Pace box.

saw this.

might fit the bill?
