The Pace 1000 Minibox is a scaled down version of the Sky Digibox, measuring just 180mm deep x 270mm wide x 29mm high and weighing less than a kilogram. It runs off a 12V supply (a mains transformer is included) and is ideal for use in caravans or mobile homes. It is extremely good at operating on a weak signal - equivalent to the Pace 2600C1 in this respect - and is therefore great for use abroad. It is especially popular in the Canary Islands, Cyprus, Southern Spain and Greece, where is signal from Astra 2D is extremely weak.
This model is suitable for both mains and 12 volt operation, when used with the appropriate leads. See optional extras at the bottom of this page for more details.
This Pace model has been out of production for several years. This item is therefore only available as 'pre-used', but has been fully tested and is in good condition. All our used models carry a six month guarantee.
Packing and delivery is £11.75 on all UK deliveries and £29.00 to any location outside the UK (including BFPO addresses).
Included with the digibox are the following: a remote control handset with batteries, a scart lead, user instructions and a one year guarantee against failure. Please select the type of power lead(s) you require power lead from the options at this page.

Optional extras:
Please choose your selection from the drop-down menus at the bottom of this page:
Free-to-view card - choose this if you want subscription free viewing of all the main UK subscription free channels, including Channel 4, Channel Five, Sky Three, Five Life and Five US.
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.
Cigar lighter lead - for direct 12V connection from the cigar lighter socket on your caravan or motorhome.
240V - 12V Mains transformer lead - allows the receiver to be powered from a conventional 240V mains supply.
Sky Gnome - similar to the FM transmitter with more features but a lower, 30m range. Includes a transmitter and a receiver, so there is no need for additional radio. Allows you to change channels, without having to go back to the digibox. For more information click here.
