Should i get a genuine or a clone?

The thing is that its hard to tell some times if your getting a clone or original and I'm sure there are loads of people out there who will get stung.

If you buy from an Authorised Dream Multimedia retailer you won't get stung. Buy from antwhere else and the likelyhood is that you will end up with a clone _www.satstore.co.uk is a good place to look for a genuine item.

No idea about the Enigma 2 boxes, but i've had a few Enigma1 clone boxes and i've had no problems with any of them, apart from the Eaglebox which was just sh*te.

The majority of the clone boxes i have had have been very well built and have performed as good if not better than the original boxes.

As long as you stay away from anywhere near Gemini your clone Enigma 1 box will be fine.

What gets me is if Dream Multimedia are so worried about clones why don't they just drop their prices instead of ripping everyone off all the time. The drop in price would mean that more people would go for the genuine item rather than a clone. Its a no brainer really.

If the Chinese can build, package (In identical packing) and ship their boxes for half the price and still make a profit then there is no reason why Dream can't either. Its just shear greed at the end of the day.

This is why i own 2 Technomate Linux boxes, I know they aren't clones and for the best part they do everything aswell as any of my Dreamboxes ever did. OK the TM9100 was horrendous when it first came out, but now its a very stable box which does everything that my 7020 does.

I'm happy with my TM boxes, so much so i sold my DM600 rather than my TM9100

There are other brands out there which perform aswell as anything that has come out of the Dream Multimedia factory for half the price if you just look for them

Anyway thats my bit said
