1 out of 5 stars An Awful piece of Kit!   September 10, 2007
 6 out of 8 found this review helpful

I had this installed by a 3rd party installer (not sky themselves) because I live in a flat and Sky cannot connect to communal aerials. This is obvious from the look of it that its a cheap and nasty box which Pace have attempted to distract you from it's tackyness with a bright blue SKY logo in the middle but it fails miserably. The buttons on top are awkward to use, and the positioning of them and the odd shape of the box means you cannot stack this with other units you may have in your TV cabinets. By far the most annoying feature of this box though is the very high pitch noise on most (but not all) channels, which is of such a pitch that it cant even be drowned out with your TV volume! All I can compare it with is like a dog whistle noise, and several people have commented that it would annoy them very quickly. It puts you off watching the channels you have paid extra for! I would Definately steer clear of this make of Box in future... I would say that this is proof that good things are not cheap, and cheap things are not good!! If there is an alternative make available for about 20-30 more, I would not even consider this model as its worth the extra to be able to watch the channels you want! Buyers Beware! This box is TERRIBLE!


5 out of 5 stars Reliable and good quality   August 30, 2007

Had my reciever for a year before upgrading to Sky+. Picture quality & sound were excellent.
Not sure what the 'high pitched noise' is that the other review mentions; my box did not have this problem.



5 out of 5 stars Probably the best Sky Receiver   August 13, 2007

The DS440NB delivers the highest quality MPEG-2 standard definition picture, you can see the difference, a quality picture.
Never had a problem with this model, good tuner, good components.



1 out of 5 stars how much?!?!?!?!?!!   July 13, 2007
 10 out of 15 found this review helpful

I've had two of these now, and each one makes a dreadful high pitched noise that spoils the experience when on and even on standby (though it does encourage you to turn it off at the plug!). Presumably a cheap transformer or something, you might not notice it, because you can de-sensitise to it, but I can't believe they're trying to sell it for this much with such a fundamental design fault.
