Our dealers have sold several miniMe American Edition units and have generally received positive feedback from their customers. It does work out of the box for North American use as long as it is properly configured. The only systems it won't work with at the moment are those using bandstacked LNBF's which we publicly stated in the review we did on another discussion forum before the unit was even launched so there should be no surprises there. However, we will be adding support for bandstacked LNBF's in the near future with a firmware update.
Since we released the miniMe back in late November of last year, we have released 4 firmware updates so far (i.e. versions 1.10, 1.15, 1.17 and 1.20) which means an average of two firmware updates per month so far for the miniMe. This is pretty good considering the fact that we also had to deal with the Premium HD Plus clones issue and had the Christmas holidays during the same time period. As you know, there is no receiver out there in the market which was released with perfect firmware from day one but we at AzBox Canada are committed in bringing the very best FTA receiver for hobbyists in the North American market.

As stated, we are assisting victims who got tricked into purchasing a clone in getting their money back through various means such as filing a fraud complaint with their credit card company. Fortunately, all the victims who contacted us so far used their credit card to purchase the counterfeit unit and some of them even already got their money back from their credit card company. This is the easiest way for full restitution but there is a time limit that people have to file a complaint like this (usually 6 months) which is why it's important that anyone who suspects having purchased an AzBox clone get in touch with us ASAP in order to get their unit analysed.
Best regards,

Uh, how are they cloning these units at all if they haven't gotten there hands on a "legitimate" unit?
Also, any counterfeiter could purchase a unit to copy.
By not releasing any info you are, again, going after the end user who will probably go out and purchase another clone.

I was seriously considering an AzBox product for 4:2:2, the Premium Plus I think . After reading this thread and searching online I wouldn't get involved with any of this nonsense surrounding AzBox.
Follow the appropriate legal and diplomatic channels like others do.
If you're spending this much time on something like this, in such a manner, who is promoting, selling and servicing your product?

With limited sales answers like this, it's plain to see why we have very few azbox discussions or members who own one or want to own one here at LegitFTA.
4:2:2 is the only claim to fame of this overpriced box, you may state we have put out x amount of files in a certain time period, but IF they don't fix what needs fixed it's all smoke and mirrors.
See the attached pdf for your consideration. since you did not want to..

WorldWideSatellites is finally responding to these false accusations. We want to clear the air, all our AZbox premium HD Plus are 100% original. A particular Retail Vendor is bashing Canadian dealers in order to gain more sales themselves. This is a dirty business strategy and currently were pursuing legal action against this individual. To read more details check out Rick Caylor Forum or worldwidesatellites blog.

ok i had not seen this, after reading all this, i will say this to opensat, DO NOT KILL THE CLONED RECIVERS, you can setup the firmware
so it dont load on a cloned reciver and you will have no problem with me, if you kill the cloned recivers then we have a problem, i will find
and remove your clone kill code and i will post a how to recover the cloned reciver.
YOU KNOW WHO I AM AND YOU KNOW I CAN AND WILL.
