I recently bought a MSS1000 receiver for a quid but it seems to have an issue with it.
The first one is that the Videocrypt decoder does not seem to work at all. There are no card messages, no decryption - nothing.
The second issue is that unless the menu is on a blue background, it seems to roll even if there's a picture behind it. I don't have this issue on either of my other Pace receivers, so it must be something up with the picture section.
I checked the usual - bulging capacitors etc. but they seem fine. The other odd issue is that the receiver doesn't seem to recognise that there's no signal (when there's actually no signal) and never brings up a blue background. On menus I have to to press TV/SAT button to force it.
Anyone remember similar issues?
The closest answer I saw is here: Pace mss500 mss1000 satellite receiver FAQ - point 13. I don't know how similar MSS1000 was to 500, though.
Edit: reading further, point 31 explains my issues exactly... so need to replace the components that are mentioned.
