Is this a clone?

[dell_xps]

You cant get in touch with Vu direct, so ignore that one, ask the guy what happens if my power supply blows after 7 months ?, who will fix it, see what he replies with.

[mdt]

you have to ask yourself how can this guy under cut W.O.S. by ?50 per duo?.. 99% of the time if a offer seems to good to be true it probably is. regards mdt

TBO I was looking for a clone anyway. I just saw this and If, by some small chance, it is an original. I could probably stretch myself to get that instead.
Problem is, I started out wanting an openbox, then dm800pro, then blade, then dm800se, now vu duo.
Price keeps going up and up.
Reckon ?185 for a clone from aliexpress is going to be what I go for.

TBH, not tbo

you might aswell go the whole hog then m8 and get the vu+ultimo for ?520 LOL regards mdt

[potrobber]

as mdt says 1 more week m8 and you will talk yourself into ultimo just get a clone ordered before your head goes and you get a dm8000 genuine

[bokkie]

Can't order yet, waiting for the cash.
I shoulda just got the openbox a couple of weeks ago!
Wish we could tell difference of clones and genuine.
Chinese are getting to damn good!

Question:

Thank you. So if lets say my power supply blows up in after 7 months, do I contact you or Vu direct?
Is there any way of telling clones from genuine?

Answer:

Hi you deal with VU directly, but I offer a warranty also which allows you to deal with me directly which in that case I would replace the power supply.

[dell_xps]

Avoid !, Vu are inpossible to get in touch with, he is solely
responsible for fixing it, comes with a 2 year warranty also !!

Looks like i did well to avoid that one.
His listing disappeared after i started asking questions, only to resurface a few days ago. Checked this morning and guess what.
2 bad feedback left because he's selling clone receivers but claiming they're genuine. Bloody scammer!
I actually bought a clone, but paid clone price from a seller that admits they're clones.
Budgetmotors5000, you thieving bastard!

I was under the impression the clone remote looked slightly different, as per a clone selling site site my good friend !

The remote on the cloned duo's are by and large the same as the originals. it was the remotes on the solo clones that were so different.

basically when the duo first launched it came with a white remote ( as did my own revision 1.3 duo ) which was then discontinued for a black one, by that time the solo was released ( duo came first then the solo ) and the solo carried the black remote. so any white solo remote is a fake as Vu never released a white solo remote.

well you indeed dodged a bullet on this one, i so know of a few people who have bought clones which were sold as original and the seller kept the rs232 cable / ic chip to further assure his customers the boxes were real.

i dont have a problem with clones my self but those selling clones as original are scum in my opinion.

My sentiments exactly.
Like I said, I actually ordered a clone, but from someone who sold it for what it was, a clone.
When I emailed him asking if it was a clone and he denied the fact, that's what I have issue with.
Paying nearly ?270 for a clone delivered when he's advertising them as the real thing!
Thieving T**t

[dell_xps]

Im sure on his ebay listing he did have original not clone in bold writing !!
Did u go through paypal ?

[cactikid]

if that was the said case saying original,then it is not as advertised!
