We got a Ferguson VCR a couple of years back partially because it had a 
little remote control thingy which was connected to the VCR and you 
placed it in front of your digibox. Unfortunately, at the back of the 
manual it stated that it wasn't compatible with Grundig digiboxes! 

Annoyingly we'd asked for a Pace digibox when we requested the SkyDigital 
installation but the installer didn't have one with him as he'd not been 
told about our preference. My missus gave him the go-ahead to give us the 
Grundig box instead - that wouldn't have happened if I had not been at 
work that day :)
