    Differences from DM800 HD PVR to Cloneboxes

    Default Differences from DM800 HD PVR to Cloneboxes

    Differences from DM800 HD PVR to Cloneboxes
    Here a list of the known differences between an original DM800 DH PVR and a plagiarism.

    Housing screws

    The Housing screws of the DM 800 are for tin metal sheet with a rough thread.



    The Housing screws of the Clone 800 are with a fine thread.


    The screws at the back of the DM 800 differ from those of a clone 800. The screws for the eSATA connector are silver all other screws are black.

    The screws at the back of the Clone 800 are silver up to the two housing screws.

    Image has been scaled down 9% (907x329). Click this bar to view original image (995x360). Click image to open in new window.




    Surface of the Housing

    The frame cover of DM 800 is painted with a structure.


    The frame cover the clone 800 is painted brilliant.


    HDMI Kabel

    The original HDMI cable of DM 800 is bound together with a rubber band


    The HDMI cable Clone 800 is packed a bag.


    Power Supply Unit

    The original Power Supply Unit of a DM 800 should look in such a way.


    This is a Power Supply Unit from Clone Boxes


    Modem

    The modem of a DM 800 is pasted with a not leading foil and on the back of the modem are components (IC, resistor …) to be seen.


    At the modem of a Clone 800 is missing the foil as well as the components.


    DreamBox Security SIM Card

    The SC in the DM 800 is clearly to recognize marked and with a resin or an glue fixed.

    Under the SC Card of a DM800 there are a lot of printed signs.


    The SC of the Clone is blanc and not fixed. On new Clone versions are SC Cardīs with Hologram.

    Under the SC Card of a Clone there are a hand marked sign in this example an "A".


    CPU Cooler

    The DM 800 have no CPU Cooler.

    The Cloneboxes have a CPU Cooler.


    Label on mainboard

    This DM 800 Mainboard are labelet with 800 REV: and the 14 pin connector is right of the sata connector

    On this Clone Box Mainboard is a label with DM800 REV: and the 14 pin connector is left of the sata connector



    Security Hologram

    From July 2008 until June 2009, a Security Hologram was attached on the packing as well as on the rear side of the unit. Newer boxes again ship without this hologram.

    Instead, in the future a plugin shall be available, calculating a verification number that can be entered and checked on Dream Multimedia's website.

          I think the best thing to be 100% sure is to down load on your Dreambox a plugin to generate a verification code. (Almost now all Images have this plugin incorporated in them). You will then enter the code which you receive in the forum: Dream-Multimedia>'Certification' and you will have your answer.

                the cost could be much lower, but the substance is not 'surely the same, otherwise everyone would buy a clone.

                  Original dreamboxes are over priced anyway. And the sat industry changes all the time so it upto to you how you spend your money. The only super hero box still standing after all these years is the Humax 5400. Shame it can't be modded for hd ;Ģ

                    Its price is one of the main indicators of a clone, they are cheaper almost twice in comparison with the original

                              Main difference is cheap chinese manufactured chipsets in clone DM800 but functionality is still the same as original, But you do have to be cautious about which images you load on a clone as a mistake could brick your machine
