[QUOTE="smiffie, post: 575046, member: 286019"] Yes, that was the only difference that I spotted on those pictures that I can identify with mine. I'm still not 100% certain that I have a Clone, it is very well built, I am just assuming its a clone because of the price I've paid. The other thing I did notice is that my network port is in a different place, basically transposed with the DVI port. It was something I looked for after reading about it elsewhere, but the backplane on the two boxes are the same on that Aussie forum. I have little sympathy for Dream with these clones because their pricing is wrong and they don't seem to be able to get a quality tested product on the market in a timely manner. Others like Technomate and AB don't seem to have such problems. I've read bootloader 70 may have a problem, I believe the bootloader in my image is 62, but can't confirm as I never got release notes with it. At the end of the day if I get a working image I just leave it. Hate having to reflash and reinstall, the worst is setting up all the satellites as I can access 45E-45W, sometimes you just want to watch telly! [/QUOTE]
