The Pace 2600C1 is acknowledged to be one of the best digiboxes to use in a weak signal area. Its ability to operate with a lower signal threshold than other boxes makes it a popular choice on the extreme edge of the signal footprint. We recommend the Pace 2600 for problem areas such as the Canaries or Cyprus, as well as Southern Spain, Greece etc. While dish size is the main factor in determining a good reception, the Pace 2600C1 can be used to improve or overcome problems of pixelisation and evening 'fade-out' that are often experienced with other digiboxes.
The Pace 2600 model was manufactured for a short period prior to the DS430N, and used the best components and chipsets to ensure maximum reliability and weak-signal performance. However, the manufacturing costs were considered to be too high and the unit was re-designed using less expensive components. This resulted in the Pace DS430N, a digibox that is still better than most other makes, but one that fails to beat the Pace 2600 on signal threshold performance. Signal threshold is the minimum signal strength at which a digibox can operate. While this consideration is not important in the UK and surrounding countries, it is of vital importance to anyone who is on the fringe of the Astra 2 footprint.
These Pace 2600 models have been fully refurbished, with the looks and performance of a brand new digibox, and are supplied with a one-year guarantee, with the option of increasing this to two years if required (please see options at the bottom of this page).
Included with the digibox as standard are the following: a remote control handset with batteries, a scart and mains power lead, user instructions and one year guarantee against failure.
When connected to a suitably sized satellite dish, this digibox can be used throughout the UK and Europe to view all UK channels.

Optional extras:
Please choose your selection from the drop-down menus at the bottom of this page:
TV Link - a small device that enables you to connect your digibox, via coaxial cable, to a second TV set - in the bedroom for example. The second TV can then be controlled in the same way as the main TV. Please note that you cannot watch two different channels simultaneously. If you purchase this item, it is a good idea to purchase an additional remote control handset.
Additional remote control - for use with the TV link at a second TV set, or as a spare or replacement. The remote can be used with any Sky digibox and is
additional to the one supplied as standard with the digibox.
Wireless AV link - gives you the same capability as the TV link, but without the wires. It allows you to extend your viewing to a second TV set. Like the TV link, it will not allow you to watch different channels simultaneously. This can only be done by installing a second digibox. If you purchase this item, it is usually a good idea to purchase an additional remote control handset.
