I was a bit disappointed that it didn't have the stereo outs that the pace's had, I used to listen to the radio thru my stereo. But a few quid on a scart splitter device and the use of the video out socket has sorted that.

Just wondered if these boxes are as good as the paces. The engineer has fitted a "forward path equaliser 4db" thing inbetween the box and the cable anyone know why this is? Also when I set the box to 4:3 letterbox BBC1,2 and ITV1 don't seem to have the 16:9 letterbox effect anymore instead they have much thinner black bars.
If its the 2110 Samsung, there much better than the pace stb's. They don't have the stereo outs, but they do have a optical stereo out if you have a Dolby amp.
