although lacking hdmi, with a price of 430 and the above specs, think this will give the vu really hard time :confused:

People paying £430 for a fake? Can't see it myself....

[Sicilian]

I've removed the images as they advertised a satellite equipment supplier, see rule 4 here http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/showthread.php?2-Please-read-the-rules-here


Personally I wouldn't pay £430 for a clone receiver, with non existent support and would doubt that the warranty would be worth the paper its printed on either. Look at all the tuner/heat issues peeps experienced with clone DM800 clones!

[grtmoby]

Sic just did it first as usual :)

so this is a clone not an authenticate product then....

[bassethound]

Sorry about the images and edited my post to say clone

[OldSkulRide]

I dont know if its worth paying 530EUR for dm8000 clone. My experience with clone dm800 isnt good - faulty tuner. I bet this clone isnt 100% problem free ;)

I have to agree there Boss I have had an original dm800 and a clone and can confirm that the clones are S***t when it comes to tuners and qaulity parts (like capacitors and alike) I would rather buy another VU+ any day m8.

Quick update that i think should be shared, I have been doing some research on these 8000's (clones) and have come across a potential fire hazard that has been uncovered by someone who recently purchased 1 of these, now it could be a one-off (but i doubt it) they had there box running for just 1 week and the box kept rebooting all the time up-to 3-4 times a day also the dish would not move, when the person opened up the clone 80000 he noticed the power supply pcb was brown in one certain area (note this is after only 7 days of use) and was very hot to the touch ! so this sounds very dodgy to me and could well catch fire or worse burn your house down while you and your family are tucked up in bed, so to sum up be very weary if you are going to buy one of these CLONE 8000's and monitor the power supply for @ least a week or so to be sure your safe.

VU+ has nothing to worry about...

If the genuine 8000hd was this price I'd still buy and recommend the VU+. I have mine 4 months (ish) and could not commend it highly enough.
Dreambox are under pressure and its not from clones.

heres a piccy of the board as i say it might be a one off as the latest clones are meant to have a cooler and more powerful supply fitted now.

£430 for a china clone that probably cost £20 to build with no warranty

Vu+ all the way, most stable box i have owned

[grtmoby]

i won't ever risk money in such a box.
i have chosen the vu, happy with it and won't trade it either

[toonarmynufc]

vu+duo all day

[Likvid]

I can't beleive any sensible person would pay £430 for a clone, it' s alot of money for crap.

[cozmo]

ive had my vu+ duo for a few months now and before that had not used satellite for 20 years best move i ever made did a bit of reading about all the boxes first and settled on the vu+ duo talk about hit the jackpot IMO i love it would never ever pay £430 for a clone maddness when there boxes like the vu out there

[Data]

I have a dm8000 clone. it is a good box with none of the spaz issuse of the poxy dm800's but not as good as the vu+ I have two extra tuners in mine. I have had good dealings with my supplier. but that is just my supplier. I did not pay £430 for mine so it was worth it for me. very good box for the money. not in the same league as the duo but not bad just the same.
