AFN is still working. I also have a Viark DROI.

Simply select one of the channels and leave it on it for between 4 mins to 5 mins. Eventually it clears.

I found this out by accident, as I thought it was dark, then went to make a cuppa. When I returned it
was working...lol.

Try it and see...

I picked up a cheap purelink HDMI streamer so where I use to only use my dish for footy and boxing it quite good now as I stream from the Viark to channels DVR on Apple TV’s around the house, so now broadening my horizons :)

Most of the time the dish is just on 28.2e :)

Just make sure if you are streaming around the house that all the connections are not on one channel for an extended period of time of you could get kicked off the server.

Yea I was worried about that, my box does switch itself off though into standby so assumed that was ok?

And to be honest it’s mainly BabyTV at the moment since we cancels Sky stream :)

I have had my Viark boxes on the same channel for several days, sometimes. Just forgetfulness to switching them off.
Yes, the box serial number flashes up on screen occasionally, but they have never been disconnected.

That's good that they have not switched you off, but it has been reported that they would do it in their messages they sent out. The message i gave was only to remind people of the possibility not really to scare anyone.

You were completely right! The channels cleared within minutes. Thank you very much, I guess I would have not left it on that channels that long. Best regards.
