No not in quality of picture, but quality of signal, yes.

If your looking for tuner sensitivity (ie fringe reception), forget about the clones, if not the pq is fine and id say better than an old skyhd box.

Although things may have improved since I got my clone a year ago.

The first question is what do want to watch, and start from there. If you already got a motorised dish then forget virgin.
Then ask for opinions on Sat receivers. 1 The main difference between a clone and the other is the price, and you have to be more carefull that you buy the clone, from a good source.
