the differenceis the componants inside main ones you can see without opening the box are - left bottom corner real will have a row of green componants fake will not.

The scart (internal) on a clone is different material.

anyways here's a few photo's

It doenst really matter too much. Nearly all the new clones are 100% copies of the originals. The tuners are high quality Samsung in the one I bought and they run on the orignal software

it dose matter mate clones use cheaper components and aren't supported as much although firmware is out there in the long run a cloned box is most likely to go down first and if new firmware releases it always comes out 2nd.and why would you buy a clone if you new it was a clone lol idk prices are similar and my personal experience i actually paid well more for a clone when i didn't do my research

But yea if you know its a clone dont buy it why should you
