Which recievers are missing a Jtag connection? The Multistar Pantec Ultra does not have a Jtag connection. I really don't want to solder directly to the board. Would be nice if I could Jtag thru the power connection (straight 10 pin) or the clock display (straight 12 pin)

add those to the list

When you say "cable needed to program" do you mean when receiver goes down, and when file becomes available--to down load that file one need to connect computer and receiver with the "cable" which had many pins in it. Is this the cable you are talking about. Please enlighten with your wisdom, will be a great help. Thanks
