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?
