Dreambox 500 Clone

Hi all,
did anybody heard for chinese clone of dreambox500 called nitrobox nb7000, i saw that thing and it looks exactly as a db500 only it's in silver color totally. It has a ALPS tuner and all other parts just like original, the price is about 170 euro
I'm i na doubt whether to buy or not. Works fine with gemini 3.40 and 3.50. that's about it??

I bought that box as a wedding gift for my brother few days ago. And I've used it for few days, and quite happy with the way it acts. Works very fast, hardly freezes and tuner is better then what I got in my dm7000s. Didn't notice anything wrong with it. I haven't used dm500s, so I can't compare them. But I can't see in what way can original be better then this clone.
Actually just remembered one thing, there seems to be something wrong with scart connection. Not sure if that is the case with this particular box or with all of them. But when you switch it in stand-by and try to watch tv channels it won't let you. It has to be turned on or powered off.
But that was easily sorted by using cinch connections it has available and connecting cinch-scart cable to my tv.

MY friend bought 4 nytroboxes for himself and familly, and one box was broken.
He couldnt scan channels with vertical polarisation and motor wont rotate.
Other 3 boxes working as a charm.
My sugesstion is to "try then buy" , if you wish to avoid unpleasent situation
with this box

Cheers

Yep, warranty is ok ,but he must travel over 150 miles to replace box.And that is nearest location for us to buy nytrobox 7000
