    Is there any way to tell a vu+duo clone from an original? If I get a vu+ thinking it is original and it turns out to be a clone is there firmware for this. When I plug in a vu+ is there a way to check the software to see if it is original, Thanks.

    if you buy a clone and it has a the v2 sticker on it
    or you have updated it with the rs232 board and null
    modem cable. clone boxes can then use any genuine image
    also clones have a sticker with a website to get images they
    have tested, original boxes dont have the rs232 board or null cable
    with them, just be careful if you buy from the bay it could have had
    the sticker the rs232 and null modem cable removed and it could be
    a clone. and most important if you want a genuine box,only buy
    from recognised vu dealers.

    Thanks for the reply benny/9 I am buying this from a guy I kinda know and he insists it's original as it has Blackhole 1.7.3 on it as well as a 1tb hard drive, so if it does have this image on it will it be original? he also said he will open it up and we can both check the insides to have a look at boards etc.

    clones run black hole 1.7.3 so why would saying it has 1.7.3 on mean its genuine

    not that it is not a real duo but be careful there was pics on here somwhere dell xps put on of real duo check them

    im not sure if this is true with the duo but the solo clone remote doesnt say vu+ on it were the original does... maybe @RD can confirm it for you?, regards mdt

    just be careful between the genuine and clone
    the clone vu duo remote does have vu+ on it
    but some buttons are in different positions than
    the original remote. and i have seen posts saying
    he clone works better with a genuine remote but
    the one i had worked first class, as for the images
    clones once updated use genuine images so dont take
    it for granted that the latest image gaurantee's it's a
    original box

    Hi you could use return the love plugin on blackhole 1.7.3 to check box is original when he brings it and connects it. I wouldn't try it if it is clone but let him do it. The clone remotes are also a bit clicky compared to real one.

    Thanks for all the help guys I now have the box set up and running, as I said earlier I got it from somebody I kinda know and he came last night and opened it up and showed me the insides etc, I have googled for images of original vu+duo and I am happy that it is original. I have been reading about vix images does anyone know if this image is better than the Blackhole images or what image have you got on yours, thanks again for the input.

    vix is nice, but i prefer black hole 1.7.3 or 1.7.2 and I running it on made in chaina duo.

    Just be carefull with fan option if u set it to stanby run for let say 5s then go off for 1m, it will not work at all.
    Just leave the fan option as it is.

    If u want to install HDD inside, dont waste your time with 3.5inch as u may reach temp of 60Cels... go with 2.5 inch and temp in my case never go above 30C
    I fitted it using bracket for ssd HDD

    hi mdt
    i just checked the solos i got and controllers are same as genuine all say vu+ on them

    as do the duo,s i have but im starting to think these clones are being built in a few different places as i have seen a few posts now with some saying the controllers are not as good as genuine ones

    all the controllers i have look no different than any pics i have seen of genuine ones

    On a clone box where does it say that it is made? Korea or China. Mine says made in Korea.

    the remote on the clone i had there was VU+ at the bottom
    but some of the buttons were in different places than
    my original vu duo but speaking with other owners of
    genuine vu boxes not all the remotes are the same mine
    has a white button [tv] at the top left and a black button
    [stb] top right other users have a data button top left
    and both receivers came from the same dealer, this makes me think
    vu buy in remotes from different suppliers. also on the clone front
    panel at the bottom right it says DVB-S HD TWIN PVR. on the original
    it has DOLBY DIGITAL DVB-S HD PVR and it does'nt say where it was
    made anywhere on the box. and the genuine remote is more sensitive than the clone
    and i dont have to press as hard on the buttons, when i sold my clone box
    i did say to the buyer, i would get a genuine remote but other than this the
    clone is as good as the orginal for picture etc:
