incorrect, the origional starview had same vents as clone, then new slightly bigger starview 1 came out, thats where confusion arrives. remotes and packaging wer a dead give away.

i sold these from early days, then got accused of selling clones because of false information like this.

yes mate, they have to copy something. if people do a search there are posts showing clones, i think. just been a few years, and there was major problems with people thinking they had clone.

just use clone safe software and no issues.
