I'm not talking about DM clones. But anyway I did have a 500 HD clone for a while and it couldn't even control a DiSEqC switch.

I've been using clones for the past 10 years more or less DM500 as well as the Openbox and never had issues with them.
But by your opinion, if I had to choose one, which one should I go for?
Vu+ series or IBox ?

Neither mate. I have a clone Vu+ Solo and mate they are not good.

It was given to me as payment for a job, its not something i would have gone out and purchased. Its still running Blackhole 1.7.9. Its OK for watching TV on but thats about it. I dare not put newer firmware on it in case it gets bricked by timebomb firmware. It spends most of its time in its box on top of the wardrobe along with my Alien 2.

You will have the same issues with these Cloud iBox receivers.

I know that money is the premium here but at the end of the day any clone box that is at risk from timebomb firmware is false economy when there are original boxes for sale that fall within your budget.
