Yes, you will need to unlock the card (if it's locked) before programming it.

Also have NTL card if not could you recommend a good card and card reader/writer to buy. Thank you for your help so far

abbs2002 · 16-08-09, 09:11 PM

you can take a look here m8,

Infinity USB Phoenix with serial & USB cables BNIB on eBay (end time 25-Aug-09 09:38:35 BST)

This is the 1 I'm using; it does both funcard and OSC cards, there are other similar and cheaper on flybay but they only do OSC card.
But if your card is locked then you would need to get an unlooper to unlock the card, look here;

Fleet Micro - Unloopers

Good Luck.

Do you know if its still possible to re flash old smart cards which have just started to loose channels

You can re-do a card but it's pointless if your area has gone N3 as it won't have any affect because the newer N3 cards are totally different.

1st sign of N3. Asian ch gone plus the +1 ch. Moving on to subtle changes and missing channels. However I am in N3 , but still getting some of the 800 cartoon ch - not many just a few. Got MOSC
