Hey Peeps
Ok so i set up my cousins viark 4K. All went well.
He has one of those feature walls where everything is completely concealed. He purchased the
Amazon.co.uk
Amazon.co.uk
He wants to hide the viark completelt behind his wall but still be able to control the receiver using the IR blaster. I remember on the forums someone said this was compatible.
We tried plugging at the back of the USB but it was not working.
Where do you stick the smaller part of the thing on the box? If someone can show me a diagram of where to stick this i can let him know.

There is already a picture on the Amazon link if you scroll through them.
I also have the same setup for my box.
The USB needs to be plugged into a wall outlet and not the TV.
The small IR sensor goes on the front of the box, and the larger one needs to be visible as this is the one that receives the signal from the remote.

Can i use the USB power from the VIAKR itself?
You can try it, but when I tried to power it from either my TV or the box (I can't remember which as it was so long also!) it didn't work as there wasn't enough power or something, so I used an old Apple phone charger and it worked straight away.

If it has enough power, why not try and see for your self?

If you have a combo it will be easy.
As simple as using Google mate 👍

Would you say it's still worth it? Mine runs out in January and I'm considering renewing
If you're motorised yes.
Not missed any of my sports really football or MotoGP etc
Thanks @manic01 and @Ferret. ....
So yes, I bought myself a brand new GTmedia GT combo 4k for Xmas.
I thought it might do what the Viark does and once you install the special firmware give you 2/3 yrs sub. However,
it sounds like reading between the lines of what both of you are saying is that even after installing the special mars
stuff, I still then need to source and pay for a VIP sub, before pointing my dish at 7W/8W and trying the scanning trick?

Obviously it's only worth doing this if you can receive the bein channels on 7w/8w, yes I was able to get a vip service, you just give them the box serial number like with other boxes.
I understand. I can get set up to ensure I receive the channels.

I can get easily enough in sw uk with TD110 dish but get rain fade, will be ok for your location with bigger dish.
