clone or original

[ringojim]

hi is there much difference between clone boxes or original boxes. i mean i have a new ex5000 pvr and have no problems (touch wood) my friend has a eurovox blue about 2 years old (i ve been told on this forum its a clone) and her box is forever needing the codes entered.

would this be because its an older cloned box or does it not matter ? cheers for the info

also could someone direct me to a woking link to the dupman program i have tried opening the one in the cdf sticky but once its loaded and i try to take it from win rar file i get the message saying "cannot open file is unrecognised or damaged"

(once i have the dupman i can install the firmware for her)

thanks

Like any box if a cloned box hasn't been flashed with the latested firmware then manual inputs will be required. Given the nature of clones it is probably quite easy for people not to realise they have a clone and therefore go to flash them using "genuine" box firmware only for it not to work. Don't really know alot about clones but by just looking through the tcb toolbar I can only see one fix for cloned evoxs and thats the Blue - this would suggest to me that either firmware isn't as widely available for cloned boxes (unless its just the blue thats been hit) or for the other models the fixes work for the real deal & the clones or there simply isn't a fix for some clones...
