Sky Digibox Variations |
Have
you ever wondered why your friends Sky digital receiver works faster than
yours when both receivers are the same make and model number. The
manufacturers have produced a variety of Sky digital receivers using
different outer casings and in some instances the inners may be the same.
Likewise you may find that two receivers of the same make and model number
may contain different inners (newer & older versions). As a guide up
until mid September 2001 the amount of minor variations made to Sky
digital receivers are as follows: Grundig (16), Sony (8), Amstrad (11),
Pace (18), Panasonic (14).
These of course refer to small changes, which would not have any major
effect on the overall performance of the receiver. For the purpose of
identifying a Sky digital receiver it is best to refer to the NDS number
printed on the underneath or rear of the receiver. These numbers signify
major variations made to the Sky digital receivers, IE: new type of tuner,
microprocessor etc. As a guide all Grundig receivers start with 4E and it
is the first two numbers that signify the change, to date they have
produced 4 major variations these are NDS 4E01...., NDS 4E02....., NDS
4E03..... and NDS 4E04.... the last one referring to the GrundigGDS 310/2
and possibly the GDS 210/2 (They may be the same receiver).
Here is the complete list (current at mid September 2001) NB: We will not
be updating this list, it is intended purely as a guide for identification
purposes. All the following variation numbers are always prefixed with
NDS..ETC, we have mentioned some typical models which would normally apply
to each NDS number, however this can vary as mentioned above.
