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 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.
Production of the minibox stopped some time ago. These models are fully guaranteed, refurbished units supplied by Sky and are sold 'as new'.
Please select which power lead(s) you require from the options at the bottom of this page. We supply two options:

Optional extras:
Please choose your selection from the drop-down menus at the bottom of this page:
Cigar lighter lead - for direct 12V connection from the cigar lighter socket on your caravan or motorhome.
Mains to 12V transformer lead - for connection from a conventional 3 pin 240V outlet.
 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.
