Cloud ibox unbranded solo clone

[ajax2061]

nice post with the fan pic looks like a fan might be the cure and if stable on vix 2.3 then once again iam tempted though will have too wait a month or so as got some bills to pay

Did some more messing today and took the card reader off of the bottom plate and tried it with the plate on, the heat build up was quite dramatic so I think this box is only viable if your happy leaving the bottom plate off and not thinking of using a card. I also loaded the ferrari patched version 3 Vix image which appears to be stable and I have no issues as of yet, I also have access to pluggin downloads, not that I neeed them but it's good to have anyway.

Back to Vix 2.3GM locked up again.

must be a fan of vix porty ,suppose any clone may have dislikes with vx.

Back to Vix 2.3GM locked up again.

So, did it lock up with vix 2.3 or when using the ferrari 3.0 vix image or both?

I'm just waiting for my fractal 40mm fan to arrive before I start messing with it again. Would be nice to know if vix 2.3 image works without locking up though.

Look for vix 2.3GM thats what I'm using no lockups with that, the ferarri image locked up.

The box is SUPER for its price.
I installed the latest Blackhole image (1.7.9) in flash and also in a usb stick for more memory.
Remote control works much better than other VU SOLO clones.
You can use it also as media player. Mkv with DTS sound is ok without receiver.
The temperature is too high cause the motherboard is on top of it. All the other receivers place the motherboard at the bottom.
Is there any european market? Customs make the price too high!!!!

usually the chinese seller mark boxes down and thus avoiding those charges.

Still thinking of ways to cool this neat little box, was looking at PC VGA Video Graphics Card Cooling Fan Cooler Heatsinks | eBay anyone tried to take a heatsink off of any box with a heatsink held with thermal tape?

im after a new box.. this seems to fit the bill.. whats the cheapest price ?

[portbhoy]

I got mine for ?80 on ebay I think they are around the same price shipped from China. If your looking for a new box I've been looking at the optibox evo like the alien only with 500Mhz Broadcom Mips dual boot for ?129. Not really supported yet except for AAF, Pli but doesn't look too bad.

Class i like the way you think, Yhis box looks similar to the clone of a clone dm500s i have called the blackbox and ?80 for a clone of a clone solo HD is not bad at all i may have to indulge myself

Can you upload that Vix image please Port....just ordered one of those boxes and then found this thread...weird!!!
Anyway,I'd normally go for a BH early image like 1.6.6 but would like a crack off that Vix one you mentioned.
Cant find it over in WOS
Appreciate it

P.S Just found it.
