Thanks for the feedback. It is just annoying. The viark is great for what it gives. But not the greatest of boxes.

I'll maybe check some of them other threads for different boxes. I might reset this box again..it can really do no harm at this point.

Maybe persuade the wife to let me get a new TV and sound system

So in advance of the boxing Saturday do we know what channels that clear on forever will be showing with English commentary based on previous fights ?

Feeds are usually free or biss or biss2, the viark if it has a valid subscription still will auto find the biss keys, biss2 not open.

I'm not dishing the box, it's perfectly fine for what it does. I think we can all agree in terms of quality it's really not the best.

I probably did get a rogue box - maybe.
I run motorized dish usals. One box connected to the dish. Nothing mad.

Box is less than a year old, it worked fine but it does have it's quirks.

All I am saying is just don't think I would buy a other one from personal experience. Everyone's experience is different. Nothing wrong with that. Just mine hasn't be great.

Have to agree just got an unlucky experience. I think the Viark is a fantastic piece of kit. I agree sometimes it can have a mind of its own but for what it clears I would give it 10/10 all week long. Would you say your expectations are too high? I dont mean that in a bad way.

I don't have high expectations of it. I know what it is. I know it's not great from a user experience but when it's works, it's great.

I know it's not a vu or some other Linux box. I'm fine with that...honestly if the thing didn't restart I would be fine with it.

Some of the quirks Ive seen:

Picture starting to glitch, jump / freeze.:

Box usually needs to reboot or will reboot itself. Happens very rarely. Though I've seen it maybe 3/4 times

Box doesn't boot:

Sometimes the box just gets stuck on boot. Usually unplugging for 30 seconds resolves this.

No display when powered on:

Saw a few times, plug the power in , the box still looks off. Unplug and plug back in resolves the issue.

Box from standby loses signal/ lock

Flick to another channel or satellite. Only happened a handful of times.



Some of the issues I've seen with the box, again I'm fine with quirks and poor UI user experience. It's brilliant server, best I've used as when it works, it's been pretty much 99% reliable in terms of the channels they offer.
