    The "volume" and "channel" lettering looks clearer on the botton one. I think the top one is the clone.

    Solution:
    The top one is that of a clone.

    I've got all three Vu+ remotes:
    • Vu+ Ultimo flip-over (Normal remote on one side, full keyboard on the other side)
      I didn't give it away when I sold my Ultimo
    • Vu+ rubbish one (The ones on the picture)
      When my DuoČ was bought, it was shipped with this rubbish remote and there was a voucher for the good one to come.
    • Vu+ DuoČ new generation
      ... from the voucher ...


    My clone rubbish remotes are from true SoloČ clones (Both Lonrisun).

    You can easily tell which one is the clone one by pressing the "Ok" button:
    It makes a clicking noise due to two screws missing inside the clone remote.
    It can be repaired by adding these two missing screws however, so it's not a proof that it's not a clone if there is no clicking noise.

    It's easy to spot a clone SoloČ by looking at its back, but as the original poster doesn't tell us anything I'm sure he prefers to wait for a brick to be sure it was a clone

    Oh, I might have to add:
    There are clones of the Vu+ DuoČ new generation remote as well.
    You know it's a clone if it drains batteries within one week.

    SoloČ backside:
    Sunray: no fan on the back (Sunrays get freakin' hot)
    Lonrisin: no "Made in Korea" on the back
    Original: "Made in Korea" and fan.

    There are more differences but the ones above are the easiest to spot.

    Based on my recommendations, the following original Vu+ boxes have been bought:
    - Two Vu+ DuoČ
    - Two Vu+ SoloČ
    - Two Vu+ Zero
    and there are more to come.
    I own an original Vu+ DuoČ myself as well.

    Also Vu+ receivers receive my work on the OpenATV image which wouldn't be possible if I didn't have a secondary and tertiary box.
    I have absolutely zero guilty conscience for buying two clones as secondary and tertiary box rather than the overpriced original SoloČ.
    If there weren't clones, I would just have bought Edision Optimuss OS2+ or OS1+ boxes, so Vu+ hasn't lost a penny.

    Vu+ is free to send me test/development boxes, then I can dump the clones.
    As long as the makers of E2 boxes just assemble generic parts and get 99% of all software development done by free volunteers, you will never see me on the "Uh, see those evil clone makers! Buy genuine!" side.
    All their work is limited to designing a front and compile artificially box dependent drivers with H/W check which in turn taint the Linux license!
    You can buy TV cards for PCs using the same chipsets which run on generic drivers not tainting the kernel license.

    As long as "genuine" makers taint licenses and scratch the point of being GPL violators, I give a flying f...
    I adhere to forum rules if they say not to support clones, but I won't stop expressing my own opinion (w/o giving support of course).

    Just my 2 cents.

    Regardless of your opinion towards clones this forum nor the ViX image offer any support for clones end of story.
    My posts contain my own personal thoughts and opinions, they do not represent those of any organisation or group but my own.

    If you don't like what I post, Don't read it.

    SIMPLES.
