All depends on what you decide to buy for your needs. A jtag kit for Sammy's and paces costs approx £30 an Unlooper will be approx £35-£45 a basic funcard programmer is roughly £10 or a more advanced unit that would do funcards and mosc's ie. USB Infinity unlimited could cost up to £50.

Basic hacking toolkit Approx £75-£125.

What about the JTAG chip

Am i correct in thinking that you need a JTAG chip to unlock/chip a box?

Thanks.

The jtag is the interface that plugs into your computers parallel port , you then need to decide which pogo lead you need , either samsung or pace

Jtag is used to retrieve the bk and ird information , When you have this information you then write that information to card .
