I am aware of the documentation error but this unit definitely seems faulty -- I think the OSD chip is stuffed right out of the box.
Given the cost of tracked returns it's not really worth spending good money after bad to send it back for warranty replacement.
I'm not really impressed that they'd send out a unit with bad documentation in the first place and then there's the software bug -- and the fact it is so bulky for what it does and uses 1990's technology (thermocouples) which are very weather-dependent.
Without a working NOVA to prove otherwise, I think the FY21/31 is a much better option and well worth the extra money. It's smaller, works in all weathers, comes nicely packaged with *accurate* documentation and so far I've found no bugs in it. They also provide the software updating lead as part of the standard package.
Maybe NOVA will send a replacement board but although I'm happy to buy a product for review I'm not going to end up paying almost twice what they cost just to get a working one.
