Message: <blockquote data-quote="Old Fred" data-source="post: 22924">I think the list is confusing. The later Pace 2200 has the same "ZIF" tuner as the 2500 and it's said to be abysmal in fringe areas. Even Pace admit this (I asked them). But the early Pace 2200 has a conventional "metal box" tuner which reportedly worked OK.Pace also told me that their 2600 and "Javelin minibox" have a new tuner which has been specifically designed to provide good performance in fringe reception areas. So my list for Fringe area performance would look like this:Best: Panasonic TU-DSB30, Pace 2600 and Pace Javelin.OK: Panasonic TU-DSB20, Grundig GDS2000, 3000 and Thomson.Poor: Pace 2200 (early), Amstrad DRX100, 300, Grundig GDS200/2, 300/2 etc.Useless: Panasonic TU-DSB31, 35, Pace 2200 (later), 2500, Amstrad DRX200I don't know anyone who has a Panasonic TU-DSB40 or 45.</blockquote>
