Sep 10, 2010 Does anyone know where I can find a pdf download for the Amstrad DRX890 HD box user manual. Alternatively, would someone like to scan their manual. Find great deals on eBay for sky hd box drx780uk amstrad. Shop with confidence. C# Manual Double Buffering there.

I am a big fan of PACE (had one for Sky+) as my last one served me well for 6 years. But I have to say, I've really taken to the new Amstrad box I have. Broadcast PQ is probably the best it can get on my set-up, and I have no problem with the default contrast setting (medium) etc. As an Engineer I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself, and I can assure you it wouldn't be in my homecinema set-up if I wasn't happy.

Although I do put a lot of time and effort in to be sure that all settings, configuration, the environment, cabling and positioning is absolutely perfect.

I am about 10/12 feet from the box and do sometimes have slow responses or jump two channels when moving up and down - seems to be much happier when operated closer to the telly. Have also deleted two programmes from the planner in the past from presing the button harder to try and make it work! Oh and this is compared to my old standard sky remote which seemed to be quite happy working at that distance. I now have this box. Had SkyHD installed last year and was delighted with the new Pace box I got.

Then had the dreaded recall call. Was not told it would be a refurbished box. I arranged for the engineer to come when my girlfriend was at home (never ever do that!).

Engineer said the dish was knackered and the cabling substandard (odd, given that I'd done the cabling myself with very decent stuff and signal strength/quality were fine.) So he replaced the dish, installed dual core cable and installed a refurbished Thomson box. Was gutted when I got home to realise this so called Sky to complain. They said it was a customer relations issue so I would have to write in or email them. Zen Cart Template. Emailed them and got a response to say refurbished boxes were part of the terms and conditions I'd agreed to.
