no word on the disk size in the UEC decoder?
Last rumors says its quite a bit smaller.
Still happy with my PACE decoder, I just wish Monochoice would stop insisting on their own software and use the vendor software that is far far far far far far superior.

One would assume the specifications will be similar. MultiChoice could not tell me what the HDD size of the UEC HDPVR was when I called today 
More information about the specifications can be found here: http://www.uec.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=54
However, they don't claim what the disk size really is, "Integrated Hard Disk Drive (250/320/500 GB)"
Hope this helps.

Here is the features of the PACE decoder: http://www.pace.com/corporate/products/productDetails.asp?nav=products&productID=DSAT-TDS850IMC
It doesn't have specifications, but it can be of some use, hopefully.

*IF* (HA!) multi"choice" keep the published features, why would the internal drive capacity matter when there's an integrated eSATA port anyway?

Oi! Leave me out of this...
It has a 500GB drive, just like the Pace version....
I would still buy the Pace version simply because it looks better. I wonder which blind moron at UEC thought their decoder looked even vaguely acceptable to the real world.

does Multi Choice charge an extra subscription fee for HD?

That audio sync issue puts me off, immediately. Who allowed that through? Nothing bugs me more than out of sync audio.
What morons. Maybe they think they can fix the problem with a firmware update - LOL

If it has the same software installed as that of the Pace, it makes absolutely no difference, other than that the UEC is model is silver, which again ruins the standard black look of other AV components in your household.
I had a DSD 910 that went to a black screen sound whenever it felt like it, necessitating a reboot. Multichoice said the decoder might have overheated and since it was out of warranty, I went and bought a DSD 1110. This decoder drops sound via S-PDIF whenever the mood takes it, or sound loses sync. So ya, new hardware is no good when the software running on it is kuk.

Read the article again. The cheaper one is still on its way - with 2 tuners.

I'll rather upgrade my Free2Air Decoder to the HDPVR version than get this crap...and it's far cheaper.
