Received brand new as a freebie from Sky after they had failed, for the tenth consecutive month, to download software to my iDTV. Straight from the box and connected by SCART to my TV, the STB appeared to lock up in (non)response to remote control commands - it turned out that was not the case, the commands just were not acted upon for 45 seconds to a minute and a half! The next day, the sound suddenly acquired an 'underwater' effect and it transpired this coincided with the previously experienced non-response to remote control commands fault. A mains of re-boot fixed both problems - until the next time it happened! The PAL and RGB picture outputs were both colour-saturated and the Sky EPG was offset to the left. In summary, either I received a 'Friday afternoon' STB or DS440Ns are rubbish (pity, because Pace deservedly had a very good reputation for some of their earlier digiboxes).

This is the best yet 'blue light' box for us down here. One has played up so far, switching off, and showing coloured dots. A whisker less sensitive to difficult north beams than 430N,but this may have been a one-off. Seems ok with the 1.22m Tecatel[actual size - not 1.35m as claimed], and Sharp Professional LNB.

These boxes are BIG trouble !!!! In my part of Spain Channel 4 is almost impossible to receive at this time and BBC & ITV fade about 10 ish. The 430N is much better if you can get one. Be very careful with these !!
