As sold, the Golden Media 990 CR HD PVR SPARK LX uses a proprietary Linux firmware known as Spark (though Enigma2 images for this receiver exist). The downside is that you don't get anywhere near the choice of support and plug-ins.

On the 'up' side, Spark is optimised for the available hardware – a compact box with a DVB-S2 tuner, comprehensive (wired) networking, a powerful multimedia engine, Conax-ready smart-card reader (no CI here) and connectivity that includes a single rear-panel USB port, HDMI and Scart.
