I have a question.Everyone that I know buys from direct links thru this and one other reputable site,so my question is who would'nt be smart enough to figure out that purchasing a unit from a direct link thru these 2 sites wouldnt be safe because everyone I know has always gotten geuine stb thru these sites. I have looked on e-bay before and seen a box that said coo coo right on the front panel lol how stupid, that picture is permantely burnt into my brain.I personally dont see any benefit in having a clone at all.I know from reading on the web and seeing pics that there are some really slick looking clones out there as well,but when people buy them and figure out that they have a clone why dont they report from where it came from? I would be ashamed and feel deprived if I found out that I had a clone.If I ever even seen one I would automatically smash it and bash it(ground and pound) because this pisses me off.So to all that has a clone (knowingly) why not go ahead and whack it, buy into a reputable site and feel good about what you own,if you cant afford it then buy the cheapest unit out there, heck I could probably go outside right now and grab up enough junk to take to the salvage yard and buy a nice one, so I dont think evryone is really that broke, thats the biggest excuse I hear about the clones is oh I cant afford to replace it.Well I hate to tell you this but your going to afford it when it burns up from the kill code lol sorry, but thats just reality.
