Viark VIARK TYPE BOXES

[Ferret.]

WTF how is catch-up working with satellite channels.?
Are we using IPTV all along 😂

No but they are recording the sat feeds for catchup.

They already beat IPTV in terms of PIC quality so now they are sorting the one thing IPTV has over the Viarks Catch up.

Nice little add-on but you'd think they'd sort out EPG first before going down the catch-up root...
No sub for the the box anymore so can't test it out lol..

The catchup works without SP2 as I only have SP1 and catchup works fine (you can view the catchup content on other satellites without moving off the one the dish is parked at) nice little bonus addon
Doesn’t seem like you can change the audio to English though so you’re stuck with the audio 1 language option

i was not aware that was a possibility so it is an extra bonus for anyone on a fixed dish
something positive can never be a negative : )
cheers !

And yet there's nearly full 7 day epg on old TM5402 models 😂😂😂

Nice to see a new S/W update for the viark combo too which fixes the picture issue which i mentioned before

Apart from the catchup is there any other benefits to the new firmware?

Server change
It will carry on working, without it you would of lost the providers sooner rather than later

We regularly get members asking why X package no longer works and a lot of the time they are not on the latest firmware.

It pays to be on the latest firmware.

Had to scan for TNT Sports manually, even after doing a blind scan on 28.2e.

Did anyone else encounter this issue?

Yes blind scan does miss some it also duplicates a lot .

Try going to settings-HDMI CEC-and ensure CEC system audio is set to Off

Is there a way to remember this setting? I have to keep changing mine everytime I use it

Hi guys

I'm on version 1.21.
Is there a way to update this online without usb or you have to do it via USB?

OK I've spotted that if I go to the update sw section it shows up there.
Is this the same as using usb mode? Can I go ahead and do it online? Any issues?

Thanks
