shame you dint check here first before buying, they are due to go off by Easter

 

completly go off?

 

think it mite be clone aswell.

 

yep completly off, gone by easter if not sooner

 

so in meantime i poss have clone can this be updated to the feb 2009 software... coz checked guide you listed and said not to put firmare on clones

 

if you look in the top of the box, you will see silver heatsink

if yours has this its a clone, gen firmware will kill this box

 

it does have heatsink. can i do out with it, but i still think i have a right to return item i only bought it 2 days ago.

 

return it ASAP and advise your supplier, in fact I would get yer money back and buy a cheap second hand box that will do ya in the interim, dont waste money on a new box that will go off in the coming weeks,

 

Will every box be going off??
