Hi wellsy,
If it's a PIC loader card there are 2 methods of programming it with the Infinity/Phoenix USB:
Method 1
1. Download, and unzip, Predator 3.21

_http://www.dragonmodul.com/
_http://www.satellitekinder.com/
2. Download, and open Dragon Cam Patcher Software DCP 09, this checks the validity of the file.
_http://www.ucassupport.nl/dragonsupport/english/Software.htm
To open this you need Winrar, available from:
_http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Download the 3.50 trial version.
If you haven't used winrar before, after opening, highlight it and click on Extract To, and choose Desktop, the easiest. Now open up DCP09 folder and open up DCP.exe.
Ignore the left hand side, this is for more advanced users, just look at where it says Firmware Check, Select Firmwarefile(*.dra). To the right of the flashing cursor you will see a little paper symbol, click on this and navigate to C:, Unzipped, Predator3.21.dra, highlight it and click open. If your Dragon symbol is green, the file is good, if it turns red do not load the file, it will probably fake and could damage your Cam.
3. Start up your Infinity programmer, in normal mode, stick in your loader card, chip face down, click on the arrow on the drop down box and choose DragonloaderCard (PIC). If this option is not available let your programmer auto-detect your card, or click the symbol before Phoenix. It should have selected DragonloaderCard (PIC).
4. Click on the folder icon, next to Ext EEprom, and navigate to C:, Unzipped, Predator3.21.dra, choose option 2 reverse span.
5. click write

3. Start up your Infinity programmer, click Phoenix, choose Phoenix and 6.00 Mhz and click enable, this will put your programmer into your system tray.
4. Stick in your loader card, chip face down.
5. Download, and open, Dragon Cam Loader, you may also need the LOAD2MB file, the first time you program the card.

6. Check the settings of Dragon Loader, to ensure it matches your computers COM port, usually Com 1, but occasionally Com 2.
7. Click Connect, if it doesn't connect check try the othe Com port setting or check your card is fully inserted into your programmer.
8. In the file open dialog that appears, select the firmware you want to load, C:, Unzipped, Predator3.21.dra. you may also require the LOAD2MB file, if it asks you for it.
Once your card is written you must follow the next set of instructions correctly to avoid damaging your Cam, print them out if required:
Make sure your receiver is tuned to a FTA (Free to Air, not scrambled) channel, I use BBC world, turn off your receiver.
Insert the programmed card into the Dragon module, chip face up. Insert this into your receiver and turn on the receiver.
If your cam is already in your receiver, which it usually is, tune to a FTA channel, like BBC world.
Turn off your receiver, insert loader card chip face up, and turn on your receiver.
Go to the Common interface menu on the receiver, and select the "Dragon Loader" module.
In the next menu, select "yes, Load module".
Now a menu appears indicating that loading is in progress. To see the actual progress percentage, select "refresh". There is no auto-refresh because some receivers had problems with that....
When loading is complete, a menu appears saying "Loading successful". REMOVE the loader card from the module, and switch off and turn back on the receiver.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes
