I'm looking to purchase a set top box, and, though I know there are
many boxes on the market, the ONLY two I find in my local shops are
the Panasonic or the Pace.

Which is best?

I tried a refubished On digital Phillips box from Argos but it was
slow (10 seconds between channels!!) Ive taken it back - the shop
assistants didnt have a clue BTW to what they were selling....

However I quickly checked out the pace which seemed really fast. The
Panasonic box looked a bit old next to the pace and the
interface/navigation system seemed a little old fashioned too. Is it
as good or better?

Since my scart on my bush TV is tempremental, giving me a little
interference on the left of the screen, its left me unsure about what
to purchase. I know I can use the RF on the Panasonic, but what about
the pace is Scart the ONLY option???

Are there any adapters for the pace to go RF? Or is it just a case of
opting for the Panny and ignoring the ugly menu's??

(My video is old too - no scart - only BNC/phono and RF)so I cant got
that route...

If you go for the Pace, you could always buy a SCART-BNC/phono lead (or make
one yourself if you want to wrestle with the joys of soldering to the minute
pins inside a SCART socket!) and watch your digital box via the VCR.

There are plans to output RF by Pace DTVA Connector .

But it still hasn't been released.
Otherwise buy yourself an SCART-RF modulator.

Is this to imply that the Pace is a better machine than the Panny?
Which one is the more "future proof"?
