might be clone? hw error after vix install

[micks_address]

hi folks,

i bought a box off a guy who swears its 100% original. It was running blackhole and when i flashed VIx after reboot i got a hw error message on the screen. Flashed back to blackhole to get it up and running again.

Is there any other reason for HW error with vix other than it being a clone?

I've checked out the pictures here:

and unfortunately everything looks more like the clone pictures than the original

HW error is a sign of a V1 clone when running latest image

Maybe if people are buying second hand boxes best to ask the seller to put the latest VIX on it.

Its a minefield buying secondhand really (especially online)... the guy selling the box to me didnt even realise it was a clone.. anyway he refunded me after a big of arguing so im happy enough. I went straight on to world of satelite to buy a new solo 2 but they are out of stock.. so i found a local sat shop selling them.. 100% genuine box, got it home, popped my hard disk in it.. flashed with vix set up auto boquets and i had it up and running in a few minutes.. very happy with the box..

...makes no odds as ruling out clones...as the latest clones accept original vix with no patching.....best way is to buy from respected suppliers

I ordered from the sponsor on ebay, but I was lucky I only ordered 1-2 days before their stock was due so I ended up not waiting long and they shipped next day via one of the best couriers in the country to me so I was very impressed, they also pre flashed vix on there for me as well.
