Why would that be ?From my experience and from what I've read I would go for V8
They are just about like for like spec wise ! DVBC-T aside.

Well it's just my opinion but v8 is better spec apart from anything else, I have not seen any advert that says the viark has 4gb ram even if it has been stated on the forum. Have also read comments that the viark struggles with 4kWhy would that be ?

There are pictures in the Viark thread showing the motherboard of the sat 4k with 2 x 2gb ram chips visible. It get advertised incorrectly the UHD gets advertised correctly.Well it's just my opinion but v8 is better spec apart from anything else, I have not seen any advert that says the viark has 4gb ram even if it has been stated on the forum.

Fair enough but the v8 still works out quite a bit cheaper even accounting for a shorter subThere are pictures in the Viark thread showing the motherboard of the sat 4k with 2 x 2gb ram chips visible. It get advertised incorrectly the UHD gets advertised correctly.
The Viark 4k will struggle with Stream relay 4k as will the UHD infact only the DRS2 seems to deal with stream relay 4k. Normal 4k is fine
This is gonna be the setup that I try over this weekend. My Sky Q Box is going back in a month & I'd like to get some use out of my Vu+ Solo2 along with the Viark 4K I'm currently using. So hoping that fixed dish into Solo2/Motor into Solo2 split with motor into Viark 4K will work and allow both boxes to move the motor dish.I have connected 2 boxes with the goobay switch. Just leave all settings as they are. The solo2 has a fixed dish and motorised dish connected and is the master connection, the V8 uhd is then connected to slave and it all just works. I am using usals on both boxes.
I don't use diseqc so can't comment on that.

Struggling to find a supplier that has 28.2e on stream relay though. Don't really need it, but I do like a good challenge.
I split my motor feed between solo 4k and viark just using a dc bypass splitter. I turn one receiver off and power up the other and both can drive the dish. Remember that you have to activate each satellite in the viark menu to use usals.This is gonna be the setup that I try over this weekend.

I ordered one of the Goobay Priority switches, so I'm hoping that both boxes into the switch, then the LNB out to motorized dish will do me ok. I'll have to wait and see if I need to power down either box to use the other one.I split my motor feed between solo 4k and viark just using a dc bypass splitter.

So, I have motor dish into Goobay splitter/Slave into Vu+ Solo2/Master into Viark 4K. Both boxes seem to move the dish fine without the need for powering either off.I'll be very interested as to how you get on - good luck!
