I think the issue is the serial number, nothing moreTani1 situation is very interesting indeed, it would be amazing to know why reference to Europe is missing.
The Chinese engineers have shown before that they are strange in their S/N choices.

Exactly this one : 3.07 dated 07/11/2022 (update to Forever 139)@vakula what firmware have you in t13 extreme 3.07 was latest i found 7/11/2022 could this be your problem for not updated to new forever 1.40
my expired t13 extreme firmware 3.07 tells me i can use sp1 sp2 in query charing system
About £150 all in including VAT from eBay UKIt’s hard to find a viark 4K uhd box in the uk isn’t it
Ok, I got your point mateI think the issue is the serial number, nothing more

The Viark like the Combo doesn t give you a channel info like yours
In my opinion it's important to understand since when the last charging system (arranged for SP1 SP2) is in use.I am not sure if the info in the below picture will help with understanding the locations of receivers and their serial numbers?
The receiver is a Geant OTT 750 4K Allure which I think came from Tunisia.
The receiver is now in the UK without any VPN in place, the charging system info below is based on this.
It is running software version 4.0.6 dated Nov 8 2022 and the server type is ForeverPro IM 140 which expired recently.
Hello & welcome to the forum I have answered both questions belowHi guys,
I 've got some questions.
1. Are all sport channels working fine on Sly DE & Sly UK with code Sp1or Sp2 or are there still some sport channels which are not open or keep frezing ??
2. Does a receiver have to be bought in europe or outside europe to work in the uk ??
I'm only intrested in Sly DE and Sly UK no VIP
Thanks for all your questions in advance.
If you add any router after the ISP supplied router (as long as it can be configured with VPN of your choice) you could put the Viark behind that router and you have VPN. In my case I had a few old routers collecting dust.
Youll need to name both your ISP's router and the model number of the netgear for anyone to advice.I have an ISP router from a UK broadband provider and a spare Netgear router not in use.
If I understand the process correctly, to get a VPN operational at the router level I should configure the Netgear router with the VPN and connect it between the satellite receiver and the ISP router, is that correct?
How does the Netgear router get broadband from the ISP router, do I just connect them together via Gigabit ports with an ethernet cable or do I need to configure the Netgear router as an access point or something like that?
For zero cost it might be worth trying out in order to mask the true geographic location of the satellite receiver before purchasing any packages?
I use a netgear r7800 flashed with openwrt instead of my ISP router on BT fibre then you could use openvpn or wireguard for exampleI have an ISP router from a UK broadband provider and a spare Netgear router not in use.

This makes sense and would suggest the following...In my opinion it's important to understand since when the last charging system (arranged for SP1 SP2) is in use.
Looking to the info such geant is been charged last time with forever just a year ago (now recently expired)
All my boxes, charged during 2022 present the voice "device in Europe".
(While my older viark combo expired more than a year ago, has a same info of this quoted geant)
From what I noticed: if forever is still active is important the place where the box has been activated the first time.
Elsewhere the date of the last recharge, the place and the kind of forever recharge.
There's a reason why they sell stb's unpatchedThis makes sense and would suggest the following...
If you buy your receiver outside of Europe, then request the seller or sender to install and activate
the Forever Server prior to shipping. This would be advantageous if the sender/seller is located
in the Middle East/Africa.
So if it takes a few weeks to arrive in Europe, you lose two weeks subscription, but so what.
Once you connect it all up and with no VPN, the charging system may think your box is not
in europe and thus permit a VIP registration.
My guess is...if you want VIP, then get box from Middle East/Africa with Forever already activated.
The ISP router is a BT Smart Hub and the spare router is a Netgear R6300
If it is possible, I would hope to use the Netgear 6300 only for the satellite receiver and leave the BT Smart Hub with its factory configuration.
I get it and understand what you are alluding to.There's a reason why they sell stb's unpatched
