[QUOTE="zoro25, post: 620171, member: 199166"] I've no idea what tuner the clones have. My advice is go genuine. Most firmwares are written for genuine boxes and your just lucky if they work on clones. some are purposely made to break clones (Gemini etc) I really do feel your pain though as at the moment I want to buy an 8000 however the cost is just way too high. I won't buy a clone though, however if one came out same features as the 8000 around 400-450 I can't say I would still be saying no. Dream really has to do something about the clones as they are using the same branding and name meaning that DMM will get a bad name if these clones are made from bad parts and break in large numbers. I'm guessing DMM make about £270 from each 8000 sold. So if they sell 10,000 boxes at £675 wholesale and they lower the cost to around £440 wholesale and sell around 100,000 boxes (more due to lower price) the total profits on the lower priced machine are more. They should maybe take a course in basic business. [/QUOTE]
