[QUOTE="hdp160, post: 803307, member: 189308"] [B]I don't have one of these to test but I think the following information suggests very strongly that clones exist. [/B] If you have an Openbox/Skybox S9/S10/S11/S12 Receiver..there is a method to identify it is original or clone. Follow these steps: 1) make backup of your box (USB or RS232) 2) install the firmware from 17-june-2011 or newest 3) go to Menu---> Tool---> Information---> Press "8888" on the remote conroller. or press Red-Green--Yellow--Blue--8--8 key on the remote controller, and you will see the CHiP iD. If your CHiP iD is one from the following list (the list is updated continuously), then you have so called original box. All is fine for you. the chip_id_list is the following, it will update everyday: (updated date: 20/02/2012) 00D0 00EA 085B 0D0C 98A1 98F2 9CF4 9D1A 1015 0D7E 38EC 10AA 1466 113C 1474 14D5 When you buy a new box , try to view the chip_id_list on our website. If you can not find the valid "CHIP ID" on the chip_id_list, it means your box is a clone box. To put this thread back on track does anyone know of any "professional" receivers with have configurable blind search facilities? [/QUOTE]
