I don't think the cloned Dice units are frowned upon as such...but cloned or otherwise, a subscription is required. Whether or not a cloned unit is capable of delivering a software update, I don't know, but they appear to be exactly the same units as the ones the dealers sell, so I guess it would. It is possible to get a one-day subscription if you had a load of software you needed all in one go. To be honest, it's probably easier (and possibly cheaper!) to get a tame dealer to do it. The tricky part is finding a tame one. My local refused to spend 5 minutes reprogramming my remotes without charge (the next two nearest said they'd do it for free), and didn't return two calls about when they could charge me. Charming!
cheers
