Re: Poll
Well, if it was a Pace box, it would be no contest - especially now the STB boost (128/150k = 256k) has gone away, with the lower tier upgraded to 300k.

You can get diagnostics from a SACM, you can't from a STB (unless this has changed with the Samsung).
The SACM tends to be more compatible with routers (remember the Benq ESG103 ?).
The SACM doesnt go down when interactive screws up, but perhaps the Samsung has got that licked?

I was sure, and said SACM, but if the Samsung fixes everything that was wrong with the Pace, there may be a case for staying with what works, but then, if the behemoth is in motion to transfer you to SACM, maybe it's better not to stand in it's way.
