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

On my solo2 remote the colours are brighter so I think top one is real

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 Duo² was bought, it was shipped with this rubbish remote and there was a voucher for the good one to come.
• Vu+ Duo² new generation
  ... from the voucher ...

My clone rubbish remotes are from true Solo² 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 Solo² 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

:I am fully satisfied that I have an original receiver.:Good end it then

Oh, I might have to add:
There are clones of the Vu+ Duo² new generation remote as well.
You know it's a clone if it drains batteries within one week.

Solo² 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+ Duo²
- Two Vu+ Solo²
- Two Vu+ Zero
and there are more to come.
I own an original Vu+ Duo² 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 Solo².
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.
