[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 4660, member: 174998"] I used to own a D2500ip and had endless problems with data (settings) corruption. Now I have a perfectly (almost) working ad3000ip. Note that you should certainly not buy the d2500 even if you are looking for a digital-only model. Given the choice, you should buy the d2510 since it is the new model. Hardware completely revamped and more reliable. New high-powered RISC processor. Completely new software - essentially the same as in the ad3000ip. Etc. The d2500 is out of date and Echostar are no longer developing it. There will almost certainly be no further software enhancements for that model. Moreover, the very lastest Echostar models comne with built-in Viaccess CAMs as well as 2 CI slots. Maybe you find that attractive. If you're looking at the high-end market with built in positioner, also take a look at the Manhattan and Strong offerings. The strong 4375 is a very interesting alternative to the Echostar ad3000ip for example. If I were you, I would go for either one of those (ie with analogue built in too) and throw away your Pace... you can attach your D2Mac decoder to an Echostar ad3000ip (maybe also to the Strong - I don't know). 2old [/QUOTE]
