Why time bomb ? How and when activated?

[satpink]

dream multimedia introduced it with the help of gemini, to stop people from using clones of their boxes, if u install gemini 4.60, think its that one, if you have a clone it will rewrite the bootloader on your box, bricking it.

Yes but why "time" bomb. What is the time or day after the flash that the clone is destroyed?
I have a clone with mac starting "00 09 34" (from factory)loaded with 4.60 2 days now with no problem .
Is my clone in danger?

[satpink]

no one knows how long it takes, if it was me id use a different image

It gets acivated when you try to download plugins from the gemini server.

If you have a clone dreambox, do not use any version of Gemini image after 4.2 (4.2 is clone bomb free)
