[QUOTE="dig deep, post: 620182, member: 196054"] Well, the good thing with clones :) They tend to lower the price on the genuin box I turned out to be fooled by an smart ad and got me a cloned 500. I should have reacted on the price but the 500 was not made anymore and I guessed it was just a way to get rid of some old stock. However it was a clone and the Gemini got me, had to to a Jtag and it went back to life again. Still it worked fine, in fact even better that the genuin one I also have. The tuner was as good as the 7020si. Now I use it as a server for my AZ box, running like sh!t from a shiny showel. So, if You know it is a clone , and take care of it - then I say It is as good as the original. I am told (dunno if it is the truth) that they are made at the very same factory as the old and genuin 500 was made. So, if You don´t have the money (or hesitat to spend them) buy a clone and make sure You don´t download any "strange" programs. I am sure You will survive, spending the saving on beer or women:-rofl2 [/QUOTE]
