Any easy way to change this without being too technical.

Thanks for any help given.

funcard do not work all the time to change net id on SA boxes, keep your fingers crossed m8, otherwise it's atmega card or lifting the chip.

give a funcard a try first if that doesn't work then come back for more options m8.

Ps: do not cut Talk Back on that box use TB filter otherwise the box will be very slow to operate.

you can get a cheap card programmer that will do only funcards it's about £15, but if you have to do the original card later on it will not do it, so the best thing is to get a programmer that does both like infinity usb which costs around £30 to £38 m8.
