What do you mean by better experience ?I have a GT Media V8. Tempted to get a Viark for a slighter better experience. But wanted to check first is there any better boxes since I was here last? Or anyone know of any new boxes due to be released? Thanks
As in a slicker UI with a better guide, maybe an EPG that can be updated through the internet. I know they run on a specific chip, but surely someone's working on a more premium box. It's absolutely brilliant for what it does but you can't deny the interface is like something from the 90's 🤣What do you mean by better experience ?
The V8 UHD and Viark Sat 4K are essentially the same hardware, the software is also VERY similar and both use the same servers.
I've read the thread about the Qviart Dual, seems like a slightly better interface and remote. Any thoughts on this? Again though I think another step up in quality would be great.As in a slicker UI with a better guide, maybe an EPG that can be updated through the internet.

The Dual is nice, I like it mainly because it also has E2 and that when using Android it adds HDR (F1 looks great at 4096x2160p50 in HDR), even if it is just upscaled 1080p.I've read the thread about the Qviart Dual, seems like a slightly better interface and remote.

But the Dual has some issues of it's own and the EPG is just 1 of those, the infobar gives you less info than the V8 UHD or Sat 4K too.
Menu - App - Update, select the update firmware and it should do the rest.Can you update the V8 via the internet? Assuming I would still need to enter my line after?
Haven’t upgraded since I bought it
Thank you mate!Menu - App - Update, select the update firmware and it should do the rest.
Stick with the Sat 4k for a less stressful experience.I've read the thread about the Qviart Dual, seems like a slightly better interface and remote. Any thoughts on this? Again though I think another step up in quality would be great.

Is the latest firmware all good or is a there a specific version?
Maybe the 4K didn't need any issues sorting since July update.Latest S/W For GT Media V8X UHD is from September 7th 2023 just over a month ago ,
Latest S/W For Viark Sat 4K UHD is from July 14th 2023 which is exactly 3 months ago .
