Viark VIARK TYPE BOXES

[cokeaddict]

Sly History HD on UK was green and clearing this morning for at least 45 mins, had it on and after 45 mins or so went off again with scrambled message. All back to white tonight. Mine is an old Geant 750 Evo Allure still showing Apollo Max 152. Not sure if that's normal as haven't used that box in a while, it doesn't get many updates these days so hoping it's included in the 153 updates as did read some Hisi boxes weren't supported any more but saying that it did get the Netfly app in last month or two. If the Starsat Hisi boxes get it then fingers crossed. Just read Sky extended Q until as least 2029, so a bit of cat and mouse yet hopefully!

That channel is open anyway, doesn't use icam or hw pairing.

That would explain it - I'll try again in a few months 🤣 Do they still have a few coming and going like that then as they test?

Is that a OTA update mate ?

 

[smithysmudge]

Yes the DRS2 also has a OTA update available to go to server 153 but it’s the same after the update it’s still showing server 152?

Could be an error, does SkyIT clear ?

 

[smithysmudge]

Nope probably because it’s not going to 153

Exactly, not a numerical issue within the update ! So someones dropped a bollock.

Just firmware to enable auto updates apparently, update and wait for auto update to 153.

I've just upgraded to the latest Viark 4K fw (1.26) but Sly IT doesn't work :(

It wont the server will be updated to 153 automatically over the next few days. It requires this firmware to do that apparently.

My sat4k is now on the new sw and is showing PT153. Sky IT is still dark but there are telegram messages saying they are aware is it down and are working on it.

Sky.de removed from viark sat, also stated that Sky.it will not open even if available on viark sat along with any other future packages.

Haven't been on here for a while and haven't used my viark in a while but was going to ask if sky de was still active.
Looks like it's not.☹️

It's active on latest firmware but freezes a lot. Not very stable DE at match time on Forever

before updating BACK UP your Channel list as it WILL be Deleted when you do the S/W Update to PT 1.26
There for sure is no immediate requirement to update since PT 1.26 offers nothing more or better than PT 1.25 did .

 

[antmarco]

Sorry for being thick could someone clarify but just done update said update successful , but in menu still saying PT 1.26 ? The update to 1.53 everyone discussing will be ota ?
