Slow Pace Box
 
I'm not sure if this is a fault or if they normally run slow?

Sometimes we have to wait a few seconds for a reaction from choosing an option.

We used to have sky and option choices were displayed straight away.

Get used to that Simon. :(

In my experience, the ntl STBs are inferior to Sky's in just about every way.

Has yours locked up when you press the red button yet?

Samsungs aren't. Pace ones are.

Simon referred to his Pace box, so I was referring to Pace boxes too-sorry if you didn't understand that. ;) :angel:

You didn't specify that, Neil! :p:

In my experience, the ntl boxes I've got run faster than my parents' Sky box - though granted, that is one of the original Pace boxes. I've no experience with more recent Sky boxes. Faster software is also being worked on by the dedicated guys and gals inside ntl. ;)

Don't worry, I wasn't offended.. If I was, then I'd have hit the report button and reported you to, err, you... :D

But, you are right, the Paces are slow...
