if you look through the vents ontop of the box ,look for the heatsink which is a square aluminium shape,if the top of the heatsink is spiked u have a clone

you cant tell by the position of the scarts as on the second generation starview they were on the opposite side to the first generation

if u have a cloned starview there is an auto updating file kicking about called 257eefixed that will keep your box working

there was no need for 3 posts in a row for this information, as you can see 1 post was enough
