    Was just wondering on your views before I bought this box...

        hi m8, of course when buying anything from PRC theres always a very slight chance that you will end up with a friday afternoon special but its a slim chance.. even so most faults are just loose connections that can be sorted with a quick push home of the connection. @setfiretorain if you want 100% that the box is fully tested and ease of replacement then buy a original from say W.O.S. but as clones go the vu duo/solo boxs coming out of PRC are excellent quality compared to some of the shite they sent in the early revisions of dm500/dm600/dm800. you pay your money and take your chance.. regards mdt

          hi setfire

          the clones are good value i have had a good few now and the only problems i had at start was some with connections not pushed fully home or come loose on shipping also the display seems to drop down a little on right hand side but its a 2 second fix also think this is shipping causing this

          so now every box i get i open and check all connections more so the main psu to mother board one and i have not had any other problems with any of them

          im also sure if you read vu section there has been a few genuine ones with issues also one even with psu blowing so you can get faults with all boxs not just clones

          they are a great box for the money m8 and i know you will have one soon

              It's not who is PRC - it's what is PRC. PRC is the People's Republic of China.

              You can buy a clone Vu+ from the likes of aliexpress or nextbay.biz
