I was considering buying a used skybox, from a guy that doesn't seem to know much about it. It's cheap, and I don't mind tinkering with it even at the electronics level if necessary. The completeness of this unit and the software is what has me concerned.
Does anyone have a picture of a skybox with the main (upper) cover removed? I'd like to see what boards are supposed to be there to make sure this used one isn't missing anything.
Does Outback offer any technical support on used and out of warranty items? I assume not, but figured I'd ask. I have read about various skybox problems that have been fixed by Outback supplying a fix on a USB stick. If I had the same problem, but couldn't get Outback support for a known software/production problem, that could potentially make the unit unusable.
Are firmware updates available to anyone, or do you have to be registered with Outback to get them?
If there is anything else you think is relevant, I would love to hear it. Thanks!
