buying a box for a £100 quid off e-bay is very likely to land you in the same situation, and MAC codes are 12 digits

so its probable that its a clone

your best bet, if you want a good unit, thats certain NOT to be a clone, is our sponsor WOS, dependant on your budget, a HD unit can cost as little as £70 ish, but would suggest the clarktek range or VU
also peeps are always upgrading there units, ie, VU+ DUO to the ULTIMO so keep an eye in the for sale sections

I am sorry you seem to have been duped, but did post a warning about clones within the thread
