1. First check the back does it look like one of these?
If it looks like copy dont worry yet, you might have 1st generation starview the copy had to be cloned from something right!
If it looks like the other you have nothing to worry about this is current starview back and not cloned yet..
2. Ok next check remote
If your remote looks like copy above it's not looking good 99% chance you have a clone.
If you have the starview back with copy on from pics above but have 1st gen remote then your ok you have 1st starview ever made
3. To check further ive aquired some photo's of both clone and 1st gen motherboards
(3 philips screws need to be removed from back to open)
First picture is clone the heatsink on cpu differs to original also capacitor's arn't straight also seems to be more capacitor's on psu board
Ive circled these now lets play spot the difference looked at 2 of these clone motherboards and both same.
Also note the red plastic blobs covering clone boxs screws
And last is close up of the clone board chip to the left of cpu.
On the Original this is made by samsung also note the writing below that
this has a extra line the original only has GCR3510CX REV.B

WARNING USE CLONE MODIFIED FIRMWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK! THEY DONT HAVE SORCE CODE SO THIS FIRMWARE CANNOT BE GURANTEED
Due to the lack of support for clones and firmware that kills them i thought this might help
Thanks for that. I have edited your post as the Cryptstar file is here in downloads. There is plenty of support for SV1 clones they are just a bit outdated but still widely in use. Easiest way to tell if its a clone is by the heatsink on the CPU.
Best thing to do as said is use Crypstar 257 on any SV1 you are unsure of.

Hi Satsmo,
I am trying to help a couple of old farts that have Starview 1 (clones). I am only familiar with linux boxes and so I am struggling. I have downloaded the "FIXED DD 281108.bin" file and "ENVISION-Simple" loader (which I assume is for the sv1) and each time I try to "Send Code" from the loader app I get a message saying "The downloading is not requested."? I have tried powering on the box whilst clicking start and at other maybe oppertune moments to no avail. I also tried to flash the file using GTromV4.0, but it doesn't seem to detect the box type, and I can't seem to spoof the field with a text entry of the image filename.
Again, sorry if I am being a complete tit here, I really have no experiance with these boxes and any direction would be most appreciated.
Until SunRise (or others who are working on it) release it, I cannot say for sure. But there were separate fixed bins for a clone and genuine in the last fix. I assume it will be the same again.
