So a clone of a clone?

cloud iboxes are clones of Vu duo and other Vu's i may be wrong but im preety sure they are.

Yeah basically... I knew they were clones of the vu range

Apparently there are others but the major thing to look for is made in korea written on back.

Ibox 2+ are clones of maxdigital 1000 or GI lx, not Vu range I think

So basically if it's got made in Korea on the back its a cheap clone?

If ur more adventurous you can remove the 5 case screws and read both circuit boards for air ddt. Again a good sign not clone. Also make sure s/n on box matchs packaging.

Cheers mate. Could u recommend a hard drive for it please... Size etc and can I just plug it in and away I go or does it need setting up to the box?

would have thought korea are makers of good sat boxes or is it a red herring made elsewhere? clones of clones omg funtimes ahead.

Korean boxes are good boxes as far as i am aware it is the chinise ones that are poor. All cloud boxes are clones that is why you have to use a clone safe image on them

Best bit is a supplier is sending out korean inferior boxs and blacking out the korea with a permanent marker lol lol
