I'd make sure auto updates are turned off if I were you.
Otherwise Infomir might just block your box now they have your number.

Just received verification from Infomir that my Magbox is an original device.

''The specified MAC address and serial number are in our database.
You are using an original device''.

It was purchased from Computer SOS in Chloraka.

I got mine from SOS, so I will assume it to be a genuine one ..

Interestingly my box is made in the Ukraine , just like infomir . Do they not have copyright laws ?

People need to take this comment on board before testing their devices.

Imagine if the police said "Phone up to check if you are on our wanted list"?

How many people would they catch before people realised that phoning up to check wasn't the best idea?

Infomir can remotely disable any of their MAG boxes at anytime they might wish to do so.
Its not worth worrying about.

I think people may be more worried that they can disable Fake boxes..

Snap , I am also thinking of buying a Mag324 . The infomir site does list recommended sites to buy their boxes from and for us in Cyprus list one shop in Nicosia and one in Germany .

Of course SOS was my first thought , but they do not have the model I want in stock .

Posed this question to a techie friend and here's the reply:

''1.Mr Blobys box is NOT a FAKE it was made by infomir for its RUSSIAN sales arm in the days before crimea. it is UNAUTHORIZED but is safe as houses to use .a middle man brought all the stock up ,put in the std stalker software and sold to the west.

2.Stopping auto updates wont help as the box phones home everytime you boot it and loads the list of banned IPTV supplies into the box

3.infomir have zapped china made fake boxes before and made them into doorstops being ex RED ARMY personnel i am not surprised with this action

4.infomir have official agents to buy a box from .if you buy from amazon/ebay then you take a risk to save money https://www.infomir.eu/ where to buy

5.The STALKER software in all real and fake and more to the point android boxes is infomir copyright and they do have the power to disable that went not being used officially''.

HIC - ''Having said that, the model I favour https://amzn.to/2J387ZX is 'reportedly' genuine and no-one has come along to say different. In fact, the reviews are very favourable. I'll be ordering tonight''.

Message from techie friend to HIC: ''you are buying the box on amazon from HB-Digital ,who are official agents''.

I thought at first that this company was in Cyprus.. But I think they just sent to here and lots of other countries.
Unless I have that wrong ???

Does anyone know if you can buy from a firm or shop in Cyprus..

Just the same for us as well.
