VU+ Solo2 Genuine or Clone?

I'd really appreciate it if you can help me.

Please can one or more of you experts advise me as to wether I have purchased a Genunine box as advertised or a clone, which I suspect it is.

I purchased from eBay and the seller confirmed before I purchased that the box was Genuine from Germany, it was a stipulation on the offer I made to the seller.

I have looked at the pages with images of the packaging and also the layout of the circuit board and they all appear to match the clone pictures, here's a photo of the card slots :-

I queried the box being original and was told :

"This completely original
Ask the expert to confirm it
you know how many kinds of them, and in what countries they are produced
and in each country by its own rules
and tell me that is not so described!"

This is the original message from the seller.

I also saw somewhere about doing a MAC address search and the results are shown below, I believe that Marusys is a parent company of VU+, don't know if this makes it a genuine box??

Vu+solo2 ##:##:##:##:##:##
Result:
Prefix Vendor
001DEC Marusys
001DEC Marusys

I'd be gratefull of any advice and I am hoping to use this information received to inform eBay of false advertising if that is the case.

Many Thanks,

Tim.

If I need supply any more information please let me know. ;-)
 
Thanks for a speedy reply, but would the MAC address lookup result "Marusys" confirm it is Genuine.?

Thanks for your reply too Mito, will look up the plugin now.
 
Currently running OpenPLi4 image, can't find plugin on this image, have just downloaded BH 2.0.9 will install and see if I can find the plugin.

Thanks again.

If you don find the plugin Return the Love Event in plugin list (green button) it means you have to enable it by Black Hole Speed Up:
Blue Panel (Blue Button) > Extra settings (Blue Button) > Black Hole Speed Up > VuplusEvent (Return the Love Event)
 
Hi, Im looking for a genuine solo2...
Can someone please tell me if new boxes are factory sealed or not?
Also guide me to notify if anything inside the box is original or fake please.
Example: Remote control, Cables, Adapter, etc...
Thanks
 
@paolino : Thanks for the reply. Im a noob to these kind of things...
But that doesnt show anything inside the box(accessories). Besides what if everything from outside looks ok but inside wise there would probably be a fake mainboard screwed (sorry the froum did not let me post picture URLs)?
Do you think with that plugin(return the love event) you would be 100% sure your box is genuine?
Also where are their country of origin generally?

Thanks again

Thanks a lot for your reply.
The plugin "Return the love event" I found it at the vu+ official website: h**p://vuplus.com/pressNewsContent.htm?idx=37&pagenum=1
BTW: That star like blue doodle circled in red, you did it or made by the manufacturer?

sorry for the duplicate...
Could you please tell me the date of your mainboard production? Because its unclear on the photo.
And that blue star like doodle circled in red is made by you or the manufacturer?

Thanks

I have read that some clones will accept the latest images but that there is a time b*mb, in the Black Hole drivers, to kill clones, and they will not work again until the flash chip has been replaced.
I don't know if this is true, or not, but a similar thing happened with clone Dreamboxes, a number of years ago.

If in any doubt go to a reputable dealer and buy a genuine VU+ product.
 
Thanks
