Freesat V8 Golden Counterfeit ?

Post by vc2 »

I purchased a receiver on Ebay that was advertised as a New Freesat Golden V8 Satellite receiver.

I noticed that the front panel and box on the unit that I received are not the same as the photos shown for the V8 Golden shown on the Freesat web site. Specifically, the Freesat name is shown on the front panel and box on the genuine article. The freesat name does not appear on the box or front panel on the unit that I received.

I'd like to know if this is the genuine article or a counterfeit copy?

It's probably just an older model, there is similar post here on the V8 super - viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8673&p=34290&sid=4 ... aec#p34290

Mine has the logo at the front pannel and I bought it from eBay also!
From the look of those pictures it seem to be genuine.
