Viark Forever Boxes Setup No Server Chat

Mehal1860 · Feb 11, 2025

Hi

Complete newbie here, any information or experience will be greatly appreciated.
I am looking to purchase a complete kit form a viark sat 4k satellite receiver.

I foolishly removed my satellite dish and all the cabling recently. Obviously I will now need the whole kit, the dish, cable and a box.

Any recommendation please.

TIA.

As no one knows where you are located or what satellites you want to pick up no one can recommend dish sizes and if you require a motor or not?

Thanks for this. What about a receiver, any recommendations? I would like to replace my firestick due to constant buffering and hopefully keep the existing channels that I currently watch. TIA.

Earlier in the thread you said you were going to purchase a viark sat 4k. You won't go wrong with a sat 4k.

Mehal1860 · Feb 11, 2025

I did indeed. I'm was just making sure this receiver is a good one for what I want.

Many thanks to all who have replied.

Bigger than a small one, but smaller than a large, at a guess

Ferret can you share your 4k recording menue setup ? I can only record the live programs at the moment, does the recording facility on the epg work ? I'm getting something miserably wrong

no you have to set manual recording and leave the box on recordings from standby can fail.

Since your Clearly only looking for Sly UK channels then no motor will be required a simple fixed Sky 65cm dish will do what you are looking for .
Virak Sat 4K will clear most of what you want out of the box after loading PT S/W .

Thanks.

Could you please tell me the benefits of a motorised dish? And what would you be able to watch on it. TIA.

I have never had a recording fail from standby with my Viark Sat 4K.

There are packages all over the arc open, so for things like sport you have a lot more options on a motorized setup.
