FYI the Pace Dreamcast was a NTL cable ( now Virgin ) box not a Sky box. At that time NTL were offering broadband although obviously not at today's speeds so dial up wasn't an issue. It was very much a concept project although a prototype was made. I still work there ( now Commscope ), sadly no idea what happened to the unit but will have a fish around.
Just watched Laird's video. That's not the prototype we remember, just discussed it with colleagues. That's the original Sky+ which came well after Dreamcast. Maybe this was someone's homebrew project.
