Does anyone have one knocking about? I have a Thomson clone of this unit, used in Europe with Multichoice and I'd like to bypass the demod section and just use it as a Videocrypt decoder.

I am hoping that it's just a matter of disconnecting the tuner and tapping in the video input somewhere.

This place claims to be able to sell PRD800/900 service manuals and so on Pace

Tip #23 here Satcure satellite pace PRD receiver FAQ appears to tell you how to disable the internal decoder - maybe that could be a starting point

Other PRD tips also.

I did take a brief look but haven't yet decided whether I want to spend 7 quid on a manual.

Need to look and see what's actually in the receiver itself. It may be more obvious than I think.
