Apparently there is a problem with some new Pace HD boxes and they are to be systematically replaced. This could involve swapping out up to 90000 boxes. :eek:

Source?
Source please.
And how does this apply to Tesco boxes which were all Pace?
We have had ours two months without issue.
I noticed that and given that (according to googles page cache) it has the immortal words
I have my own suspicions about this one. If it is a safety related issue Sky will be required by law to issue a press release warning owners to unplug their boxes, so we will know for sure within 24 hours.
Since Pace nor Sky have issued an urgent message over the air, on either website, or via the usual channels for this kind of thing, it seems unlikely. Not to mention nobody has ever reported such an issue.
There is just no source for this whatsoever.
I always wonder why hoaxers feel the need to put "This is not a hoax" in their messages. Surely it does not take a rocket scientist to realise that not putting that particular dead giveaway in it would increase the number of folks taken in.
The only reason I can think for the thread being deleted on avforums would be if the (alledged) OP's account had been hacked and they subsequently complained.
i am the developer for the new epg and it was me that pinpointed the fault.
DONT ever leave your box alone, the latest update caused it to require more power, the circuts will burn up really soon and catch fire , i am 15.
this is not a hoax
omfgl;ololol
*puts box in the bin*
to see if i am a hoax
not that i want to be a spoil sport or anything but as the thread in on another forum was deleted. and some ppl on here don't sem to have alot of common sense was that really a good thing to say? at the very least i doubt pace/sky would be best pleased that you maybe unduly worring their customers.....
The "I am 15" bit pretty much sealed that post up as sarcasm.

I take the point you made when posting to my Direct debit statement........................!!!
1. wrong quote
2. I am 15(that was the only truth)
Wonder if I will get a new box as the old one can't be three months old yet
NOW THAT IS A LIE.!!!!............Tesco have never bought a PACE HD Box.
Listen sunshine. This is the last time I will say this. I bought a Pace HD box from Tesco just before Christmas and tonight Sky phoned me up to arrange for a box swap. As compensation they will give me 3 months free HD subscription which isn’t bad seeing that I don’t have an HD subscription on that particular box.
I will await your apology.
As John McEnroe would say " YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS".....if you had read my Post, I did not say you had not bought a PACE HD box, I said TESCO HAD NEVER BOUGHT A PACE HD BOX"
It is called "a play on words" and was meant as a funny.........oh never mind......it went over your head anyway.
No apology needed in my humble opinion.
Well I bought mine privately from Tesco and did not take up the Sky offer that was conditional with Tesco. In fact I told Sky it was bought independently. Sky only know about my box because I did a card swap.
Was it connected to your 50" or one of the three 32" TVs you have???:D
