    No its a PACE machine. The sender is connected to the scart socket out. There is a thin wire with a sensor that sticks to the front of the set top box This is the bit that allws you to change the channel from the upstairs unit.

    Hi everyone,

    You might get more help with this on the Techie board, so I'll move this thread over there.

    I really want to set up my NTL box to watch it in bed and change channels. I understand that the only system that I can do this with (as in get it all in 1 box) is the DigiSender™ Gold DG400.
    This much I know…

    But where can I get one that doesn’t cost £120… or, if I have to get one like that, how can I save some money on it?
    Not got any store cards or catalogues, so can take advantage of introductory 15% off etc offers.

    Help please!

    You could always buy a second hand receiver from eBay and run it via a splitter and run the cable into your bedroom.
