V8 Super different front cover?

Post by cpr43 »

I owned 2 Freesat V8 since some time. I ordered a new one and noticed there is a difference in the front cover. See pics. Maybe a clone??

I was asking myself same question since I noticed these two STBs of V8 Super. I saw no difference between the two . everything is one and the same except front views. Anyone with comments, please .

I think that if you look at the Menu / "Information" you will find the older one (No Freesat Logo) has an earlier date for the hardware version.
From memory they changed the front panel early on to include the Freesat logo.

The boxes my early model supers came in show the unit with no Freesat logo.
The super units are out with a client.
These units were supplied from Freesat directly, so are genuine.

I always thought that the receiver you show in the bottom pics with that front cover belonged to clones.
This helped to clarify
Thanks!

¿Entonces no hay ninguna diferencia entre los dos solo el logotipo de la marca?
