Editing Digibox (section)

==Manufacturers and non-common features==
Digiboxes have been made by [[Amstrad]], [[Sony]], [[Thomson SA|Thomson]], [[Panasonic]], [[Grundig]], and most commonly, [[Pace Micro Technology|Pace]]. Although the reference designs were identical, a number of digibox lines have specific faults or traits, such as failing modems on Grundig units, and unstable tuners on older model Pace boxes. Some units add features not found on other models, such as [[S-Video]] sockets on some Grundig units, and [[TOSLINK]] output on Sony's.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}

For a long period of time in 2004 and 2005, only one Digibox was in production, the Pace DS430N, but Amstrad and Thomson have resumed production with the DRX500 and DSi4212 boxes respectively. Digiboxes for new customers are assigned randomly, and cannot be chosen, creating an after market for specific boxes due to their individual features. Sky bought out Amstrad satellite production in 2007 and now only distribute boxes which initially appeared as Amstrad models but are now badged merely as Sky.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}
