Pace Twin PVR

The PACE Twin PVR (Personal Video Recorder), also known as the Pace Puma, was launched in the UK in March 2003 and was the first to offer hard disk recording of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT or DVB-T) with no subscription.

Pace pulled out of the UK Freeview market (according to a July '05 press release). The last downloadable firmware release for the model was in February 2006.
