The Pace STBs used an IrDA type of remote signal. The Samsungs use the more standard IR (RC5) signals. Devices made for the Pace STBs tend not to work with the Samsungs.

When my Pace got swapped for a Samsun I found my Digisender would work, but only by precise positioning of the remote controller. If the remote was pointed directly a the sender unit, it would fail. Angling it indirectly so the signal bounces around the room seems to work. I've got used to that but is seems odd. The transmitter is postiioned about 2" from the front of the Samsung.
