I am thinking of changing to the two yrs option but this part is completely new to me and still a bit confused even after reading @barney115 posting link for instructions (does not take much!!!) i tried to put your link in browser top bar but nothing came up just seemed to give a lot of error messages. Is there something i am missing and is it just a case of putting serial number in as i assume a box will appear?.
Also just for complete clarification i activated the three yr option in April so for example if i got link to work today will the 2yr and 1 yr iptv start from today or is it linked back to start from my original activation date.
Sorry again for going over points with issues already raised its just for peace of mind so i would like answers to above points.

it is linked back to start from my original activation date.
and you can not do it twice otherwise you get the same error that @Motogato got .
2yr and 1 yr iptv start from when you first activated via that link on Sonat site .
Box MUST be under 6 months old for it to work , ideally a new Viark box .
To be honest when i bought my Viark Sat 4K i went to the Sonat site as in Above post and was activated in well under 30 secs
after all its just a copy paste link and a quick msg same as what @Motogato got [ blink and you miss it ] .

If you have done this and Still have issues you can try once more to copy/paste the link in web browser and all you'll get is an error saying its already activated ...also trying different browsers like Firefox,Chrome , Brave etc.. possible would help .
If you can live without UK option like @117 said he is happy to do without then your free to keep your 3 years in tact it is not a requirement but will cost you money to do so after box is 6 months old .
Good luck .

Fantastic explanation really appreciated. Got my box end of last year but did not activate it till april so i guess box probably more than six months old even though as mentioned before have the remote
without sat button. I must have read that link to the demo content notes wrong as i thought it meant we can activate the 2yr option up to six months from original activation. When i copied the Sonat activation link as i said never came up so no s/n was put in. Think i will stick with three yr option with this receiver as do not want to lose what i have really happy with it as it is set up now.

YES Was obviously older than 6 months when you tried to originally activate when meant its null and void .
box has 3 year FS and 1 year iptv when new , if activating its 2yr FS and probably drops 6 months iptv
but i am not certain as i dont waste time with the iptv option .

Counts from activation of PT sw not purchase date
So for example, if you bought in dec 2023 but did not load
PT sw till april, you have 6 months from april to use sonat link

Thanks that's how I read the notes link so thanks for confirming that bit.
So if I decide to do the 2yr option I may hang on for example till nearer October then more or less would only lose six months of original activation if that makes sense (What could possibly go wrong?)

hello hello folks,
how would I put my long/lat below into the viark for a motorised setup?
My longitude is 001.500 west and latitude is 052.467 North (which I've taken from my E2 box) but struggling to get those into the viark!

Does anyone have PT_VIARK_SAT_4K_V1.21 (UNRAR) version - I am on a machine attempting to get the software onto a USB stick but the machine I am using (dads) requires an admin pass which I dont have currently to download winrar.
My personal machine is a macbook so cant use that!
