spark recovery for anyone stuck,
to read this you need PDF reader
QuoteDisplay MoreOn 21.May 2013, the Data Source (Yahoo! Weather) for the Amiko Alien / Alien 2 Weather Forecaster service has started sending incorrect data to the Amiko Alien models. This data is automatically stored inside the Set-Top Boxes’ memory, and is loaded during startup causing certain receivers to fail to start or fail to respond to Remote Control commands. If your Spark receiver is still functioning correctly, You just need to upgrade your receiver to the latest Spark version (1.2.65 or higher) to avoid the issue
If your receiver is already affected by this issue, please download the following file which will help resolving the problem:
We would like to apologize for any inconveniences, and thank You for your patience.
