    If you have money go to original because you can put all image and all plugin will work,if not try an clone but you can used just patched image and some plugin not worck(mediathek) and the fun make big noise after some time.

      If u can afford it, always go for the original ones. Clones are about half the price of the original ones but could be problematic at times. U could also be lucky at times when they work like the original ones.

        On your Dreambox you can find a plugin to generate a verification code.
        With this code you can check if your dreambox is original or clone. Here is their test website : _www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/en/authenticity-test

              Clones are made in China - Cheap Labour
              Genuine are made in Germany - Expensive Labour

              thats the only different apart from the Sim.

                Hi sucan thanks for reply but if you have to use a plugin to tell then you must have already have brought it! How can you tell before purchase?

                    If clones have a cooling fan are they noisy in use,can they be heard when viewing a quiet program? Are they as reliable as originals?..

                        If originals have made in Germany? Do the clones have made in China or do they carry a clone label too?

                            Am I right in saying that there is no way of telling the difference until you have bought it? (apart from the price)
