all powervu back with factory reset and my deleted biss keys are still deleted so i don't have to delete 400 odd biss keys again :)
Save your softcam file to usb & then when you install new firmware reload it again, then you'll never have to delete 400 odd biss keys again.
Also useful to have for clearing old biss feed keys.

To All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to recode/reprogram a Viark Sat 4k remote control to use a specific code?

The Viarks are great boxes, especially the Sat 4k. Suppose you wanted to have 2 x Viark Sat 4k's side by side
in the same room.

Thus is there a way to code Viark Sat 4k (A) to work with Viark remote control (A), then
code Viark Sat 4k (B) to work with Viark remote control (B)?

Just a thought!

No, sorry
You can reprogram various remotes to work but you cannot change the stb code afaik.

In my opinion, the Viark Sat 4K remote has to be pretty accurately pointing toward the receiver, so I would think you could have another identical receiver in the same room but not side by side.

Shame.

The Viarks are really good. At the moment, only a few brands are on server 145.
I did some recent checking and testing on Sat 1.9E. The Viark Sat 4k is clearing
a wide variety of channels on there, including the Max Sport channels.

When I tried the same with my Viark DROI and Technomate that are both on
older server versions, nothing at all cleared. Not a sausage.

Having a receiver upgraded to 145 is quickly becoming an imperative if not essential.

No you can't I've had two sat 4k's and the remotes work both together, you could cover the remote sensor on one of the receivers but not ideal. I now have the SAT 4K and a Dual together the remotes work on different codes and both on 1.45 (y)

I'm just crossing my fingers and toes that Viark upgrade the DROI to 145 soon as well. Also the DRS2.
