You could open it up and check everything is the same as the first one inside.

But if your like me and dont know what a clone looks like, how do you know your first one is not a clone?

i purchased my first f3 from the same seller that sold me my previous openbox s11 which was genuine so i do trust first seller [100% feedback score 15998] second f3 was from a seller that purchased stb from fleabay in nov 12,i do not want to open first f3 to compare as it is security sealed and could void any guarantee..

clones are just as good why worry if you got it dirt cheap ???

I have a gut felling that there are clones out there, I may have one, I used to think that why make a clone when they are cheap enough anyway?

I have one where you cant load the any of the old firmware onto the box (its a brand new F3), weather this is a tall-tall sign of a clone, I dont know?
