Anyone able to help me out here ? I have an Amiko Alien 2, tried to contact their support with no help and their forums now seem to be read only. I use a legit Sky UK subscription in my Alien 2 box (Spark), mainly so I can record to a HDD and view the videos where I want. Last week all encrypted channels suddenly went, I get a "Scrambled or not running" message, sometimes I can see the subtitles but the screen is black, it shows up the "now and next" okay. I used to use it offline only, but I put a ethernet cable in to update to the very latest software but it still won't work. When this first happens I of course put my card in my Thomson Sky box to check it out, this showed that channels wouldn't work there either, so I forced a call back and the channels worked, but only on the Sky box. Have I killed the card now by doing this ?
I have read that Sky Sports has moved, I am concerned that because those were the only channels I tried before putting the card back in my Thomson that perhaps all I needed to do was retune, and now I have perhaps killed it from putting it back in the Sky box.
Any ideas ? I know many channels are dying but I would like to at least use it for the ones that are still up for the time being. Thanks all.
