Advice on buying one.

[elmo00234]

hi all, i have just been looking around and have decided i want to upgrade my skybox f5s and get a solo2. I have been on ebay and found this:

VU+ Solo 2 Twin Tuner DVB-S/S2 HD Linux Satellite Receiver PVR ENIGMA2 CLONE VIX | eBay

I know its a clone and I have been told to be careful with these but i thought this could be an alright one. As the seller admits its a clone and even says not too upgrade it unless the image or whatever is from him, as i assume it will then brick the receiver. It is a decent price i think if it all works properly. Just wandering if anyone has got one of these (from the same seller or not) and if they are decent or not? And if the product support the seller claims is also true.

Many thanks.

From experience stay away from clones. It's not worth the hassle.

Yeah clones are a pile of shit

Get yourself a real one. Costs a bit more but worth it in the long run plus they will put an image on there for you so it comes all setup.
