Is this a mag box or clone

[bazcfc1]

Morning all I've been having a browse on fleebay at mag boxes just to have a play around with and for lads bedroom as wanting to cancel entertainment package and multiroom with sly and come across this box it says mag254 box but I'm not familiar, with mag boxes I know bits about them but is this even a mag box or a fake see attachment and thoughts on it

 

[Joe516]

clone for me mate

 

[bazcfc1]

It's what I thought but want views of others as you have mag box

 

[allrounder55]

If its genuine it will have an infomir hologram sticker on the underside along with the mac address, looks to be a clone baz, saying that they work well but have a tendency to get hottter than a genuine mag.

 

[allrounder55]

Also its too cheap for a mag, there approx £65-£75.00 depending on model.

its oem and refurbished, so theres a possibility its genuine and not a clone, only thing that lets it down is its not 4k resolution, which i prefer now on any device as the majoritiy of 4k tvs now have a feature which enables HDR on any hdr compatible device connected via hdmi it improves picture quality.

 

[allrounder55]

Basically it will "upscale" the resolution giving a look of 4K even though the source isnt

 

[allrounder55]

the new mag 420 supports hdr and 4k as stated on infomirs site
MAG420 is an evolution of MAG322 with 4K HDR support | Infomir news

Pretty sure it shouldn't have the writing in the front, at least my 256 doesn't which I got from Infomir

 

[moshibeth]

Check the mac code with imfomir

Avoid 254's, my current supplier has advised to upgrade over time as latest software is not compatible on a lot of new software codecs etc going forward, mag 322 the most popular by far from what I can see.
