Best of luck mate. Sad to see you go.

That would also be why the preliminary comments I had were that they would most probably be accompanied by a SACM for BB

What, because of the broadband issues? Doubt it, the issue was the same one that affected Ambit 200s*, it was fixed for those and they're able to be used for broadband so why not the Samsung STBs? I know SACMs are cheap, but they're not limitless. Anyway, I'll know better when I get one back, been like a blue arsed fly this week

*CM file wasn't compatible, tweak CM file, no problem.

I would love to know what Sky box you use?

Everyone always bleats on about how fast and great it is, but with the bog standard 'free' boxes everyone gets in many cases its as slow if not slower.

(Look at your services Sky+ which Is supposed to be better hardware, but it should be at ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£199 to the consumer!)

I dont ever think ive seen a good bit of technology from PACE either! I used their Sky Boxes too and they also seem shakey as hell!

Still nothing is as bad as those cheapo Amstrad Sky Boxes (Older Ones) urggghh

Are there any specs for the Samsung Box? Anyone taken one apart?

Had mine for about a year. Broadband is better than Pace 1000/2000 but more prone to DCT errors (blocking). The fact that there is no phono audio out is pants. More bloody scart adaptors.

Samsung SMT 2100C

This is the new digital cable box that NTL use on their UK cable network.

'new' being 'about two years ago', in this case. Watch this space for real 'new' boxes

This only got resurrected as someone asked for pics of the samsung, on a different thread and I linked to this thread.

Ah, ok, I can see people going 'OO WANT NEW BOX' not realising it's the same SMT-2100C that's been out and about for a while now.

I just copied the top lines of the linked site, I didn't kow how old the box is.
Personally I've had mine for just over 9 Months.
