Pace 4000 - Are they tied to original locations?

[mrm.c]

Hi, been wondering about my old (but working in right location) Pace 4000 box.

I suggested to someone to use it in Keighley but he said he thought that as my box was NTHell (says it on the front) that is wouldn't work in his exCW area.

Is this correct? I mean .... aren't they universal e.g. will work in any UK location (with due consideration of N3) or are they limited based on the original cable companies regions (can't see how the box would know?).

I thought you just told the card where it should work e.g. NTHell, ex CW, etc. and your location (e.g. London) by using the right codes when programming the card and off you go .... whereever you are.

Apologies if this seems a dumb question but threw me as he seemed sure and turned down the box ... figure a few months is better than nowt for him.

Cheers
