Hi guys I'm new to the site so please go easy on me :) could you help with the above please re how to tell if a f5s box is cloned or not?

I buy on bulk and the way I check is by scanner the qr barcode and that should take you to the skybox.cc site. Also the genuine boxes have HDTV written just below the HDMI port and the cclones have HDMI written. Do not update a clone with the official skybox firmware as it will brick your box. Hope this helps.

I have a Libertview F5S box. The QR code takes me to the website libertview.com

Does this mean it is a clone? I have run skybox.cc firmware on the box without it causing any issues

Your Libertview f5s is genuine mate. You do not have to worry.

I usually check, if it is 2 plug it is clone, 3 plugs genuine.
