Viark VIARK TYPE BOXES

[Jester1]

Do I need to send the whole folder to my usb stick ??

Unzip, open folder and copy the .bin and .key file to root of USB although I think you don't need .key file as you have done this previously

No just extract and copy only .bin file

Yes very stable for me

Probably best to PM me so this doesn't go off topic. But no, not in my experience

Can I PM you as well? How do you get Tod to work on the shield?

Started reading this thread 3 weeks ago, I’ve found it a great source of information - thank you.

I was in Spain last week & got myself a new Viark Sat 4k, switched out the Sky q lnb & it’s all working lovely only on 28.2.

Can someone tell me if there’s a UK channel list I could download please? I‘m looking to make this box to be as wife-friendly as possible. 😮‍💨

I used to have a VU Duo on CS but that was many years ago but even then the community had quite a few channel lists & programs to make your own. I can’t find any for the viark 4k sat. I did see the motorised list but that seems like it’s only for some of the other viark boxes.

Many Thanks

apologies if this is a rookie question folks but still only learning about viark.
the box i ordered arrived today and i followed the how to guide on here, installed the latest software, scanned 28.2 and installed the channel list from a few posts up.
seems to be working fine but i've noticed that only the $ channels highlighted in yellow are clearing, would that be correct?
tried a few irish channels and LFC TV but they are blank and saying scrambled channel.
do the channels with the red $ sign not clear?
no worries if it's only the yellow $ channels that clear, all i want it for really is watching the footy when it comes back.

 

[Ferret.]

Only yellow clear yes.

Not all channels clear the mainstream HD ones do though.

Is it possible to add channels to a favourite folder using the remote?

 

[Jester1]

Is it possible to add channels to a favourite folder using the remote?

Yes, go to Channels, TV Favourites, select a category and click on OK to add.
Red button if you want to rename category.
You can then change the order of the channels in any category by pressing FAV then green button to edit

Nice one @Jester1 thanks a million mate

What is the USB aerial thingy for that comes with the viark sat?

It’s the wifi aerial to connect with your router.

The following file is specifically for the V8uhd and and has a slight change from the the uk channel list provided by Hedges (thanks -great work as always) in that the favourites are correctly titled for this box. *The list has also been set to the east midlands region.

Cheers I'll take a look, I use a euro list but no harm testing out. How long did it take you

Not too long to be honest as Hedges had done all the hard work. I edited the channel list with the stb channel editor specifically for my region which only needed a couple of channels to be swapped in the order. Then it was just a case of renaming the favourites on the box and saving it to the usb.Hope it can be of use to some members.
