Pace (Company)Pace Micro Technology is a British manufacture of set top boxes for digital and analogue satellite television, founded in 1982. They took over from Amstrad as the main supplier for Sky Digital, and for many years were the only provider of Sky+ boxes. The majority of Pace's factories are in its home county of Yorkshire. The company started off making dial up modems, and claims to have developed the first consumer modems. In 1995, they manufacturered the worlds first DVB decoders for an Australian satellite company, and had shipped a million DVB units by 1997. Being an indegenous manufacturer, UK media providers are more likely to use Pace equipment, and as a result the company has close to a monopoly on the supply of cable decoders, DTT equipment, ADSL based VOD systems and satellite decoders suitable for use on UK networks. For a number of years, Pace owned RISC OS, and used technologies based on it in its decoder equipment.
