Advantages: Genuine widescreen images, Compact design, Very inexpensive

Disadvantages: Few worthwile extra channels until October, Some pixelation

The Pace DTVA is a fantastic piece of kit which will ensure that digital terrestrial TV succeeds.

It's really well designed; it's small enough to genuinely be called a set top box, and it's incredibly easy to set up. The remote control is pretty nice too.

Assuming you have pretty good digital TV coverage (check out http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/coverage.html) you'll get a really good quality picture. The best thing of all is that if you happen to have a widescreen TV, you get genuine widescreen transmissions, with no stretch marks!

A recent software upgrade (downloaded through your TV aerial) had added digital text services, which are very fast indeed.

The only problem I've seen so far is some pixelation on some complex images (particularly the swimming at the Commonwealth games), but overall I've been very impressed.
