[QUOTE="hairybadger, post: 946762, member: 389459"] The first thing you know about it is generally when you try to update the firmware and it bricks the box :) There used to be something you could do with chip IDs (from an information screen somewhere) but I suspect that that's no longer reliable. Was it sold as a genuine box? You could contact the seller to ask how you check. edit: I remember an esteemed ex-member bricked his *genuine* F3 with a firmware upgrade :) [/QUOTE]
