It's 100% a genuine model.

I know. he did so he did. He must be selling genuine ones at a premium!

I spent hours on forums researching and reviewing before I bought one. Great way of avoiding clones!

From your research, In your opinion, do you think all these boxes from this site are origional and not clones or is it hit and miss? I presume Lincsat doesn't deliver to Dublin?

You could always ask lincsat if he'll deliver to Ireland.

Another good place to buy genuine boxes is iwantabox.com, you'll get 1 years warranty and lifetime access to software updates

Thanx for that Lucky13.

When all this panic over the codes started I knew about clones but from reading some of the posts I had no idea there where that many around.
