4:2:2 Would be a good test. It is probably a moot point because it ha Az firmware in it.
My question is: Where is a 4:2:2 feed to test at this hour?

The clone shipped with a 0.9.5020 AZBox Premium HD+ firmware.

CBC feeds at 107.3 Ku might be up, but I don't have that satellite currently on my system so don't know for sure, they use to have some of the feeds (colour bars usually) 24/7.

Thanks. i will check 107.3 in a bit.

I am not in a position to take pictures yet but I can describe some obvious differences my clone has.
(1) The AZBox logo is missing on the front of the receiver.
(2) There are 5 rows of vents on top.
(3) The bottom plate of the receiver is completely covered with rows of vents.

The clone shipped with what appears to be a very well constructed, genuine, AZBox remote.

All the clones I have looked at had the sigma chipset. I would think if it's running real Az firmware and has the sigma chipset it should in theory play 4:2:2. I have been looking at the clones quite a bit and it seems the quality varies quite a bit depending on who built the box and the price! but who knows it's hard to tell by pictures you could be looking at pics of the real deal! I'm still scared to buy a real or clone. The prices on the clones IMO is way way too high, and don't even get me started on the real deal, I mean they have been out of production for two years! SHEESH

Permanent CBS 4:2:2 feeds on Galaxy 28 and Galaxy 19 on c band. They are always colour bar feeds unless a sporting event is being broadcast or a tv show.

Hmmnn.. looks like the fan is not from Korea. Pix #76

Damn, it's a clone..............Production was probably transferred to China where it's cheaper.

4:2:2 Works. Other Channels like Luken on 87 West C band do not. Upgrading to the latest firmware from 2012 did not help the Luken issue.

The clone was not shipped with an owner's manual.
The power supply looks identical to the original except it has generic markings on it. It is very easy to tell the difference between an original and clone power supply
The gift box does not have "Made in Korea" on it.

Thanks! I figured that 4.2.2. would probably work, but always best to get confirmation. After all, it's not like these are being built to Opensat specifications! LOL!
