Yes they sell clones, then they will normally exchange for genuine item if you notice you have been sold the cheaper/sub standard product.

Best to pay a little more for genuine goods IMO.

Was it an obvious clone. Do I not need to open up the box?

Simplest way it to check security seal (this one is clone) Genuine stock does NOT say EX5000 PVR
also look through the top if it has heatsink deffo clone.

I know about Eurovxes-I saw mine when I got it from TechDNA that it was a clone! Sorry but I forgot to say are Starview easily identifiable as clones(no opening up) I dont want to open it up(if it has a seal) and then the seller to say no returns

Your buying a non-genuine product which your presuming to be genuine.
If your made aware of what your purchasing fair enough.

Sunrise announced he wasn't doing any more fixes, due to ungrateful imbeciles slagging him off for not releasing them quick enough etc.
