Going to make a complete fool of my self now but what the hek, can you update the s/w on a cloned box? Bet no ones ever asked that before.

Well you can try, bet no one has ever done that before

Thanks guys, I get the drift, in the bin it goes then.

Make sure you try it first, you never know you might get away with it!

Don't bin it yet - is updating the keys manually really that much of a drag? There were admittedly a few key changes done over the last week but that will die back a bit and it won't happen anywhere near as often.

And just cos theres no clone update yet doesn't necessarily mean that someone out there won't hack it for you!

My advice be patient

I have 2 boxes, until last week a simple power scan sorted any problems out, never had to manually enter a code. A friend of mine has told me I have one genuine & one cloned, he updated the s/w on the genuine one and it works fine, but the cloned one wont have it at all, even when I enter the same code manually, thus I assume it must be the s/w to blame. Am I so far off the mark?
