Actually, the 4010 was born out of an effort by Pace to make a box that could work on all three cable networks in the UK -- it's practically identical to the 4000s used on Bromley and Telewest.

It uses a different chipset to the 4001 (except possibly the NC, I'm not sure), has a faster processor and more memory.

In fact, the internals of the 4010/4000s are almost exactly the same as the Samsungs, except that the latter have a separate modem, whereas the Pace boxes use the one CPU for everything.
