Clone or genuine F5

[k87622]

Hi guys, is there an easy way to tell if your F5 box is a clone? Does it make any difference? Will AJ channel list work in either? I am a newbie so any help appreciated. Thanks

Doesn't make a difference the only thing you might get is a file mismatch error when trying to update firmware from official source and yes AJ's channel list should work with both clones and originals.

Where did you buy yours from, so others can avoid (please don't provide a direct link)

There are several factories manufacturing the skyboxes therefore you get a lot of variation in components used in making the hardware maybe even a slight difference in firmware as well.

Try this site skybox.cc (http://skybox.cc/down.asp) for official

Try this site hddvbsw.com (http://hddvbsw.com/)for the mismatch see if it fixes it.
