hi Jerry
Sorry, thought you meant something else ; well, how to tell the difference, is not se easy, can be seen only in small details.
Differences depend on the type; see eg _hxxp://wiki.blue-panel.com/index.php/Differences_from_DM800_HD_PVR_to_Cloneboxes.
As in the example, mostly pictures are needed to tell - same thing about the VU+.Comment

Re: Dreambox original vs clone
That's not very easy to notice. Besides, how can you tell those who produce the clone won't change these small details.Comment

Re: Dreambox original vs clone
Hi I'll try to collect main differences between original and clone Dream:
The original HDMI cable of DM 800 is bound together with a rubber band.
The HDMI cable Clone 800 is packed in a bag.
The frame cover of DM 800 is painted with a structure.
The frame cover the clone 800 is painted brilliant.
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. Update: meanwhile there are also cloneboxes with rough thread seen
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.
The SC of the Clone is blanc and not fixed. On new Clone versions are SC Card´s with Hologram.
The DM 800 have no CPU heat sink or a CPU fan.
The Cloneboxes have a CPU heat sink or a CPU fan.
Important as usual is the price!
I hope this will be useful info.
Best regards

Re: Dreambox original vs clone
Because they are not immediately informed about the change of details. Clones are often a cheap copy and the lifetime should be (in average) shorter than the originals. I would only buy an original to prevent anger although it's a bit more expensive.
Clones are ofter produced in south east asia / china.If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans!Comment

Re: Dreambox original vs clone
If you go in to ts panel on a dreambox, you can download a plugin that can tell you if your dreambox is clone or original by serial number.Comment

Housing screws:

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.
With the cable version of the clone 800, the tuner input is a "F-connector", an original Dreambox has an IEC connector. Also interesting: every screw is black and has rough thread.
I hope this information will help you ....
