I havent had any probs with my clone :)

Excellent no probs with mine and they run cooler than the orignals that are prone to getting very hot..!, some people require the amp if they have a smaller dish or long cable run...

I brought my clone about 10 days and I have had to return the tuner. The clones are cheap and you have about 60:40 chance of them working as expected.

Had mine for a few months now - initially lot of freezing. Here's how I resolved my initial issues with signal.

1) Changed Image to Nabilo Black Hole - slight improvemet over Gemini
2) Installed In Line Signal amp - little or no difference
3) Upgraded to a 60 CM dish for 18 quid from E*ay - Signal Strength always shows above 80% - All Problems Solved

It took me a few weeks to get all the above in place, but since the dish upgrade - I have Rock Solid, freeze / glitch free picture :)

I'd recommend DM800 clones, but please be aware that the tuners are a little naff. There is a new tuner - Version L3 but even that's had mixed reviews.
