Found and old STB with a working PSU with all the required voltages:

Unfortunately there is not enough power on the 12V line. It works for a while (Please insert card message turns up) after power on, but when 12V falls below 11.35V after some minutes, it stops. :(

Did that. It turned out the problem was the cap on the 5V output. Now it has been running for an hour.

That's a Videcipher II decoder used in US. Other than the VC abbreviation, there isn't anything else that's in common with Videocrypt.
