PACE LAUNCH NEW ONDIGITAL SET-TOP BOX

PACE, the provider of digital set-top boxes, have launched their fastest-ever ONdigital set-top box with an advanced tuner design for improved reception in marginal coverage areas.
Amid much criticism of the poor reception of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) service in fringe reception areas, Pace claim that performance tests prove that the new ONdigital set-top box extends the marginal coverage area and makes reception more robust for ONdigital’s digital terrestrial TV service.
Paul Ashmore, Pace’s Sales Director, said: “The launch of our new ONdigital set-top box will be welcome news for all UK viewers, especially consumers living on the edge of marginal coverage areas. Our new technology means more consumers can now join the digital terrestrial revolution and reap the full benefits of ONdigital’s wealth of TV programming and interactive services.”
Pace’s set-top box will provide faster access to on-screen menus and programming, and will enable users to change channel and access ONdigital’s email service, ONmail.
Improved download speed during set-up also provides quicker and easier installation of Pace’s set-top box, further supporting ONdigital’s key premise of ‘plug and play’ and ensuring users have almost instantaneous access to ONdigital’s TV service.
