Default Hi all newbie needing help

Hi all im from leeds and new on the forums.

I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction of a tutorial to program a virgin smart card.

I recently got my card unlocked by a loacl guy but dont want to have to pay each time the card gets zapped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can buy a basic phoenix prog from fleet computer systems, best ones are the dynamite or infinity, see lincsat in classified section.

We do advise people NOT to modd there subbed boxes/ cards, so if your card came with your subbed box and you are still paying monthly do not touch it leave it alone, but if it’s a spare card that you got of somebody and it‘s not subbed on your name then follow the tut to get your card sorted.
Setting up you Original Smart Card
To get your Smart Card up and running you will need these tools;
1. Infinity USB phoenix card programmer or similar
2. Nagra 4.1
3. NagraDate
4. Unlooper to unlock the card (if your card isn't unlocked)
Assuming you card is unlocked and ready for modding; Open you card in Nagra 4.1 and click on read from card “blue arrow” if you card is unlocked then all the details will be displayed, then click Data Editor “underneath the blue arrow” then follow these steps to set up your Mosc card;
* Tier: '01 IRD Info (41)’:
*Edit the sub tiers:
-IRD number (enter your IRD number “backwards” in normal format)
-BoxKey (enter your BoxKey number in normal format)
* Tier: '06 Provider Info (58)’: This is where you enter your Cam Id;
(you can make up a combination of numbers/ letters to replace xxxxxx use 1, 9 & A, F)
-TW Cam ID starts with 2CXXXXXX example 2C31E7D1
-CW Cam ID starts with 27XXXXXX
-Pure Cam ID starts with 24XXXXXX
* Tier: '08 Standard tier (31)’: Edit the sub tiers:
-Expiry Date (using Nagradate - enter a future date in here in hex format)
-Rights Date (using Nagradate - enter a future date in hex format MUST be different to expiry date)
-Rights Identifier (TW: 9896D9 or Pure: 9896D6)
-Min Channel (keep as 0001)
-Max Channel (any number between 1000 and 32415 - make sure you convert this to hex format using Windows calc)
-Modification Date (can be altered to any date in the past - just to make your image unique -- hex format)
-Begin Date (can be altered to any date in the past - must be a date before the modification date you enter - hex format)
For all the dates you can use NagraDate Converter “it’s in the download section” so you can change the date from Dec to Hex, example “21/07/2009 = 24A7”

Once you’ve done all that click on write to card in Nagra 4.1 (Red Arrow) then insert the card in your box on channel 101 (BBC1) and give 5 to 15 minutes to update then go to S*Y Sport and check, if everything was done correct you should get all the channels, if not just go over it again and correct any mistakes.
Big Thanks goes to BigMAQ

Good Luck...

Thanks for the help M8 that is very helpful.

What happens if you have unlocked a subbed card. I get free vigin basic package as it came with my broadband and phone. I also though that the card had to be paired to the box.

short answer you can get in trouble m8 with VM, they will find out that you are watching channels you are not paying for and you can get a visite from VM and Police, like others did, if I were you I will listen to good advice and get another box that is not on your name, leave the subbed box and the subbed card well alone m8.
