C&P

It has been officially stated that if anyone buys a CoolSat 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000 now they are buying clones only as All originals are out of stock.
Now the current line is CoolSats 6100, 7000,8100

All dealers that carry 100% legitimate products have said all stock piles of the above mentioned boxes have been depleted.

So all buyers beware if anyone, site, eBay or other resources that try to sell you any CoolSat 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000 they are trying to sell you a 100% cloned product that later on will end up not working.

Buyer Beware. Boss

I have confirmed that current sponsors Do still have some original CoolSats left and they will inform me when they are depleted.

**** Always Buy from trusted sellers ****

Here is a copy of the official letter sent out.

To All Coolsat Dealers,

After speaking with many dealers and in order to address the current clone problem on the internet we will not be honoring any warranty for Coolsat 6000 from end-user purchase dates after October 31st 2007. Warranties on Coolsat 6000 and other models are voided as follows:

Coolsat 4000 Purchase Date after February 2006
Coolsat 5000 Purchase Date after April 2007
Coolsat 6000 Purchase Date after September 2007

Starting November 2007, all dealers must cease selling Coolsat 4000, 5000 and 6000 on the internet. Coolsat RMA department do have ways of detecting clone units by tracking Serial Numbers and other methods.
Clone receivers are a problem and we kindly ask for your help and cooperation.

How can I tell if mine 4000 is a clone or not? It was given to me by my brother and he had it for a while now.
