Make sure it comes with a Valid BK either written on the box itself or an un hit card , This is a must with the 8300 box or its just a large paper weight.

To "chip" this box, you will need an unlooper and also a Phoenix Programmer. Try TMC, he sells everything you need. If you don't want to fork out for the sake of one card, some kind person on the forum may do the card for you if you ask they nicely

.

It's also useful to know that these boxes work better with talkback filters instead of actually cutting the talkback - this makes the box reboot every few hours which can be a pain in the a**e.

It must have a "Chip" in it

Suppose other Potato products would do also :P
