how to tell if its a clone
c and p from crazed
The visible differences that I can see, comparing the original T6 I have here, compared with photos seen on the web
-Mine has the rear power switch with Off / ON showing
-Others has the rear power switch with O/-- showing
-Mine has on the outer gift-box and on the top flap, the bar code is on the same tag as the zone tag, one ontop of the other.
-Others have the bar code on same flap as the zone tag but they are separate.
*I also have 6 or 7 other dreamlink original receivers and they all are the same, with the bar code sticker ontop of the Zone tag.
-Made in Korea insignia is permanent part of the gift-box cover's front design. It's shown in bottom right hand corner, front of gift-box cover.
-Other don't seem to have that. The Made in Korea insignia is missing from box cover.
*I also have 6 or 7 other dreamlink original receivers and they all are the same, with the Made in Korea insignia on the front of gift-box cover.
-My remote keypad's record button has a red dot
-Other remote keypad's record button has a white dot
Check the video below.
It shows the bar code tag in wrong place on the gift-box cover.
It shows the record button with a white dot.
It shows that power switch with the symbols instead of words.
It does not show Made in Korea on front bottom corner of the gift-box.
At 7:47 in the video, you'll briefly see a dreamlink name that flashes just for a second onscreen. I have never seen that on this original T6

That site from above video sells clone receivers of all types. He would get large shipments from china at anywhere form 60 or 70 dollars and up, per receiver.
You can hear him mention about his large shipments and you can confirm the prices at ali-express.
These are just my observations comparing the one I have in front of me and others I have seen on-line. Don't let pictures fool you thou. I seen one ebay with all the correct signs of an original but seems the actuall receiver that is sold may not be the same as what's pictured.
Prove of that is at ali-express sites.
At the china clone site, the pics of the T6 are as I see it, with the signs of an original.
Them pics would have been taken from a original T6 and not of their clone.This info will only be good for a limited time as the clone makers will make better looking copies
