    fried pace STB, replacement compatible with tivo S1?

    Well my trusty old PACE sky STB box fried last night, after about 10 years of faithful service.
    (Pace DSR600).

    According to sky, stream11 isnt processing properly, whatever that is.
    So, my question is, when the technician turns up tomorrow, and I presume he will replace the
    box, what new sky stb boxes are compatible with philips tivo S1?
    By this I mean, that the tivo can control channel change with IR?

    Is there a box I should try and get from him, or one I should avoid?

    Cheers,
    Mike.

    Update:

    Whoa, found the problem, and it isnt the sky box. Seems that sky have made a change to stream11
    (thats CNN, disney, prime, mtv,animal planet,comedy central). It now gets inteference from 11g/11n wireless on
    11g channel 4,5,6,7 (2.427, 2.432, 2.437, 2.442ghz). Havent made any change at all to the 11n router,
    it was on auto channel select, and its certainly chosen those channels in the past year with no problems! (probably).
    Hard coded to channel 11, and problems go away.
    Tried to inform skys service rep of this, but he had no idea what I was talking about, not sure he even knew much
    about the 2.4ghz spectrum.

    Cheers,
    Mike.

    I doubt they still use them, but the Motorola DTH335 won't work. The even older DTH325 does work. Not sure about newer boxes, the picture on the website of 'Standard decoder' is too small.
