G77 is your man for this question, PM him and he will tell you how to get the chip off without lifting any pads and he will also tell you how to get it back on properly .

hi all ,yes i did manage to remove the chip and replace it with a new blank one ,,and now the net id is set to 1
so one job done
when i go to the FTA channels it says you dont have v+enabled ..mind you just put the caox in ,no card yet ,as waiting for the tb blocker to come
so is it normal for the box to say that ,,it will be ok when i put the mosac in ,,
which image you used which is a working image ,,
yould you prefer a blocker image for a rom 11 rev bod card ,,its a mosac card which has been unlooped ,,got all the details with me ,
i thought that the bbc hd was a FTA channel ,,do you have any hd channels which are FTA ,
if you write your card correctly mosac ,,will you be able to get any FTA hd channels or not ,,
any suggestions
thanks

Fisrt thing you should write you BK and keep it safe then find a Rom 11 image, I would use blocker if I were you coz if you make a mistake it is a bit of a head ach to get back into you card, you will need to update all the dates & right so you can get all the channels, once you have done your card you will receive all the channels apart from PPV.
for now you should do some search on how to update your card while you are waiting for your noise blocker.
