Since my much-praised Comag SL 100 suddenly the service with my Alpha Crypt light module and the Sky Card partially (ran perfectly one year) refused, I was looking for a long time for an alternative with Sky channels. (No suport of Sky for non-certified receivers !! ) So back to the V13 card and against the opinions in most forums I decided for inexpensive Pace HD DS 830. And the decision was good. PSU inserted into the socket, card, HDMI plugged (in scope of delivery), Digital Audio plugged in, turned and? everything runs immediately without the slightest problem !!!!! Image SD super, Scalierung to 1080 i flawlessly, image HD fantastically. EPG is very extensive and just easy to use. Switching times are fast enough to me, I also zappe not permanent! Enough connections. HDMI, 2x SCART, Digital Audio Opt + RCA, Lan, yes the USB is dead I need not really! Remote control is easy to operate, for example, it is also work for the Audio Receiver Programmable, a keystroke and the most important functions (volume, on-off). About the Zoom tactile screen setting 16/9, 4/3, Scan, Letterbox is selected directly! Buttons large enough and also to read without glasses. Another function which pleasantly surprised me: LipSync built in 4 stages. So the vexing unsynchronized TV image is also fixed to the digital sound. My older audio digital receiver has not this feature. The "only" 99 favorite channels are quite sufficient for my Astra reception. Two months without any crash or other defects, he is now already in use. (The can not say HD receiver on its own) If you want more features, you should look for a device in much higher price regions. Finally, a comparison with my Comag in image quality and operation has the pace slightly in the lead, equipment and speed of Comag. I would recommend this device without hesitation, above all, for trouble-free reception of Sky! Addendum 13:08:10 The receiver will work now after 8 months still without any problems, he has 1x be "hung", however, was resolved with the disconnection from the mains immediately. The one negative is still the following: The reception characteristics in bad weather are bad (Picture off), my other receiver (Comag, Technisat, Radix) are here much more resilient, which has unfortunately not improved with my new 85 cm dish.
