I received mine one today "EV PVR" from a online retailer,and the first thing I notice was that the outer packaging was not the same as the other one I got for a friend of mine,in the seance that the finish on the box had not got the shiny finish as the first one I purchased.
Was just wondering if this was a sing of a clone.

I have 1 of the same type just got it from TechDNA

The box its self looks the same apart from a heatsink on the mainboard
it flashed ok but still unsure if its a clone or not

I also noticed it says ex5000 pvr on the tamper warranty sticker and my older one says just eurovox

Does anyone know what to look for ?

Hi

The cloned EX5000 outer packaging is not good quality as the original. The cloned packaging is not glossy & the cardboard is not of high quality. The inside white packaging is also different.

Those that have a cloned EX5000 will get a big shock soon.

Due to the credit crunch, individuals are opting to buy at the cheapest price. On the long run it will work out very expensive.

Is the CAPS LOCKS BUTTON broken too?

So glad it is not bold text as well or you'd look like a complete *anny

It is a serious forum so can talk normally wthout SHOUTING any way
