How old is receiver m8?
-
A lot of the older ones can be detected by the mac address.
if the mac starts with 00 : 12 : 25 then box is definitely a fake.
if the mac starts with 00 : 09 : 34 then box could be genuine.DMM haven't made a genuine DM500 for a very long time, i think 2008 or 2009 was when they stopped making them. If its been sold as a new genuine one it will definitely be a clone.
If it has a front panel similar in looks to the DM800 it will also be a clone.

thanks nano,check mac address and starts with 00 : 09 : 34, just getting it up & running again for the spare room

Unless its a really old box its doubtful its genuine.

Most clones after the Gemini time bomb era had a MAC address starting with 9:34
Just use pli, commando or if you like GP images use GP 4.2 or earlier -
