If it has no "Made in Korea" in the back its a clone

Mine (a clone) has the same tuner details and came with Black Hole 1.6.6 which work very well

Other Images did not work on it

Vu is a Korean company, it's the shite thats made in china that are the clones.

I have a clone and it works well never really understood the difference

the difference is the clones use cheaper parts in there construction and the QC leaves alot to be desired although not all clones are shite and most of them work fine if used with their limitations of image choice ect,regards mdt
