Pace DS810 Update - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

I was speaking to someone at Pace today and during the conversation he said that an OTA update is about to happen, likely within days but certainly the next 2 weeks. The focus is apparently on CAM's, which was the reason for my call to them!

They've been promising this for months. When the fix is tested & released, the price of the boxes will probably shoot up well over the £100 you can currently get them for.

Heh, the guys at Pace must be getting fed up of people like us calling them about this. I too called within the last two weeks and got the same stock reply. Their new patch (supposedly designed to solve the cam conflicts) is in testing and will be released 'soon', probably within the next few weeks.
I'm still waiting for the OTA update to surface. Good job we have patience in this hobby, eh Stick?.

I've not had it lock-up yet, but it does display bouts of amnesia from time to time...

LOL. You gotta love corporate spin. It might as well have read:

You'll be telling us they are stringing us along, next.

rd100 · 19-10-07, 10:06 AM

Had another email back from then this morning again

e-mail: Hello There is a download due soon, our engineers have a small issue they wish to
resolve before releasing the software :

.

Other companys make firmware upgrades and people make patches in days maybe pace need to find some new softrware engineers,

I guess they went to the same corporate teach-in as the Dream Multimedia guys.
