The decision was made by Topfield Co Ltd but Digital Products Group was notified of the deal by ACA Pacific rather than Topfield Co Ltd itself, according to Digital Products Group director and manager, Jai Kemp.
"Digital Products Group, formerly Paige Communications, have been the sole distributor for Topfield for the past 7 years. The first we found out that Topfield had appointed ACA was from ACA themselves," Kemp told SmartHouse News today.
Topfield Co Ltd decided to release its ties with Digital Products Group following some "legal disputes", according to ACA Pacific marketing manager, Raj Saini.
Earlier this year the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) found Digital Products Group guilty of performing price-fixing in relation to certain of its Topfield-branded set-top boxes and PVRs and ordered the company to pay damages of almost $300,000.
