Viark-Starsat Box Discussion

Any ideas of what's improved?
Cheers

Sat4K, lost the option to select audio output (Raw or PCM) seems to be set to PCM now and can't be changed.

Added HDMI-CEC to menu

Now shows which server you are connected too PT Pro IM 141

Also says upgrading to 1.15 means you can not flash older sw versions.

Also be advised it does a factory reset after updating, so you need to backup your channel list first.

It would be nice if they could add chase play sometime soon, as once something has started recording you have to wait for it to finish to watch it, unlike most boxes are able to do these days.

Started something here didn't I? I did look at manual if you can call it that? but I will read again, I'm not lazy but like to be belt and braces.
Can I start you all off again, last evening had notice of new software update, should I install this or will it effect all the help I have already received?
Thanks to everyone all input well received, don't know where I'd be without you all? thinking about it without asking, I'd be watching ITV

Regards

Al credit to ytumas for this guide to return to lower version software on the Sat and 4K

Hello everyone, I will explain how to return to a lower FW PT, we have to have a USB properly formatted in FAT32, then we put the FW PT that we want, it is also valid to install the original v.7.00, I have not tried with lower ones.

1. Format a USB to FAT32.
2. Rename the software to "update.bin" and copy to the USB. (in my case I have put UPDATE.BIN in uppercase).
3. With the Viark completely disconnected from the power supply, we insert the front USB.
4. Connect the power supply and press (hold down) the POWER button on the front of the receiver.
5. The letters USB will appear and without stopping pressing the POWER button, we wait until the letters "-ES-" appear (it takes a while) on the display, at that moment we release it and the recovery will begin, we must wait for it to do all the sequence and leave it until the deco restarts
Note: if the recovery fails, try several more times, as it sometimes fails.

If you update to this latest version could you try the sat button and scroll to the end when the iptv is. See if you have access to the apollo5 server? It gives you all the live uk channels, movies and series and apollo night has porn. Not sure that's a good option for people with families.

I take a look later to check on mine.

Both sky F1 hd and bt sport 2 hd clearing. I would suggest a rescan I'd they don't clear for you. This is viark sat 4k.
