Sky boxes are no longer manufactured with the cursor buttons on the front of the box as they have been discontinued.
All boxes are now manufactured with the cursor buttons on the top of the box. As a result, sourcing the older type boxes with the cursor buttons on the front is extremely difficult, if not impossible. This affects those distribution systems with boxes in a headend rack as any older type boxes that need replaced by new boxes into a rack, if tight for space, may find it difficult to access the buttons. To safe proof your distribution systems, make sure you have ample space in your racks for accessing the cursor buttons on top of the boxes.
Each issue of the Offshore Entertainment Services Newsletter will contain a top tip, designed to point out any issues that may affect your service.
