Caution! Vu+ Clone


Dear partners and Customers,
Vu+, unarguably the leading supplier of Linux based set top box, works relentlessly to make sure the utmost quality that you expect us to achieve. This has been the integral part of the whole operations in developing and manufacturing.
However, we recently learned that a clone of Vu+ SOLO could now be traded through illegal transaction routes from China. In responding to this grave situation, we assure you that we will take all possible legal measures to ensure that such pirated copies of Vu+ products be not traded freely. Furthermore, we have already begun a technical process via which to upgrade the algorithm of system security implemented in all Vu+ products soon.
When this upgrade is put into place, no pirated copies of Vu+ products will work. While we sincerely ask for your unilateral support in dealing with this serious matter, let us state the following aspects so that you can inform those who might be interested in Vu+ clones.

1.No software update will be possible.
2.The hardware stability of clone is very questionable.
3.No repair support will be offered for clone boxes.
Also, please be noted that SOLO clones have several points that are different from the genuine SOLO as below:

We would be sincerely grateful if you send us email ( support@vuplus.com) on any information regarding how these clones are actually traded by whom. We believe that fighting against pirated copies of Vu+ products is not just for the benefit of Vu+ only but also for all customers of Vu+ as a whole. Thus, we once again wish for your unilateral support.


Best regards,


Vu+ TEAM

The worst thing is that not all buyers of clones are even aware that they have purchased clones.
Thx God , I have Original Units home and can enjoy fully future BH releases :)
Have heard that some chinese copies are running old VTI image and will not work with future VU+ upgrades.

more important than that can the "return the love" plugin be fooled? I mean those clones are hard to spot. !

Where can I find the "genuine check" plugin?
I have the Duo box running Openpli.

Edit... sorry, I now see that this is a Blackhole forum

I am trying to register my vu solo via the return the love event but I am not allowed to input the first letter "E" of my receiver...
All default serials should start with "M" as I can see.

I am using VU black hole image.
The receiver is definitely an original one as it comes from a greek authorized reseller...

Is there anything I can do to register it or the return the love event is only for VU uno and Duo?
Thank you

Of course I have. I don't doubt I have an original one. It's just that all the VU solos sold recently from the shop in Greece I also bought, start with an "E" and there is now way to register it via the return the love application of BH image...
I saw the receipts of purchase of other buyers and all the serial numbers started with an "E". (all original boxes).
Only VU Unos and Duos started with M and could be registered
