How can I tune Sky Sport Germany and Austria without knowing if they are broadcasting?
Not understand if they are totally off (no carrier, no pids....) or they are empty but detectable by the receiver in some way.
My receiver is Viark Sat 4K.

They usually always show up every saturday on 3pm when there is a lot of Premier league and bundesliga games

Or during Champions League/Europa League games

Got the replacement power adaptor and the thing still switched off after 10 minutes. The LEDs on the box look like it's still on the channel but completely froze.

Just completely random , sometimes it will work for 2 hours and other times 10 minutes.

So annoying lol. Excuse to look at another box but don't think I would buy the viark again. Which is disappointing as when it works, it's absolutely fine for the purpose.

Aside from the viark anyone else suggestions on other boxes from your experience?

Does the same happen when you are on an original software and not a PT (Forever) software?

That is a good question, don't think I left it on long enough on the original. I may as well check that. To be fair if it was fw related, I would expect more people to suffer from it.

But I will double check that

The patch can get corrupted, unusual but possible.
The viarks are rock solid receivers

More interesting, just could be pure luck. But I've had the box on this morning. Audio at present coming from the TV instead of the soundbar. Not that I changed it as it should be coming from the sound bar but the box hasn't switched off yet from 11 this morning.

I had noticed this before issue before with the sound and my JBL. On occasions. The TV would revert to TV sound.

If I changed hdmi input to Nvidia shield, Only way to fix it was to pull the hdmi cable from the viark or restart TV/soundbar then sound would revert to the JBL.

So the box has been on all day. Perhaps it just doesn't like my JBL 9.1 ...

Not the end of the world. I'm tempted now to switch the audio to see if it switches off.

That was going to be my next suggestion.
I did previously change the hdmi cable, it's actually using the same hdmi cable at the moment.

I have the JBL 9.1 all my devices connect to the TV bar a media pc which connects to the hdmi in on the sound bar. I have the Nvidia shield, Xbox one, viark all connected.

It uses earc to the sound bar. Which has always worked fine before the viark.


When I got the viark, noticed a few times the TV would disconnect from earc and just use the TV speakers. I also couldn't select the soundbar on TV audio settings. It was greyed out. I used to have to restart TV and spundbar to get audio back.

I had suspected the viark was at fault and had thought the hdmi cec update had caused it. When I did get the audio issue, I unplugged the hdmi cable out from the viark. When this happened the TV was able to route sound back to soundbar without restarting.

To be honest not sure that makes much sense but in thinking just some sort of compatibility issue.

Today the box has been on all day apart from when it went into standby. It was able to come out.

Just glad that it's working. Just really for the football more than anything.

I always thought that HDMI is a very bad standard. Many people have such comatibility issues, and in most situations these problems are due to HDCP.
Have you any splitter or similar device? If so, you can try to connect it between Viark and soundbar and check what happens.
If this will not solve, the following step would be looking for a "magic" device to clean the signal from HDCP. In the past HDFury did the job, don't know now.
