Rover digicube meter

In that case I revert to my initial assumption: the MPEG-decoder is broken or with bad contact.

Thank you, I’ll open the meter and see if I get anywhere

Does that mean it shouldn’t be working??

I wrote that it's old because it doesn't have the MPEG 4 card if you can't see the channels broadcast in MPEG 2 it means that the tool is faulty and repairing it costs you a lot of money you need to change your tool the product is from 2010

Congratulations on the baby!

Regarding the Digitcube, i does not have MPEG4 decoder, as already mentioned.

You need to try with an MPEG2 broadcast, typically using DVB-S, DVB-T or DVB-C. All DVB-S2 transponders I am aware of, use MPEG4. Also, some DVB-T transponders (like here in Portugal) use MPEG4.

A field meter with only MPEG2 is partially obsolete, because less and less transponders use MPEG2. It is not totally obsolete if it has DVB-S/S2/T/C capable tuners, because you can still perform useful measurements.

Don't bother to open your meter. You won't find anything repairable. Even if you had equipment to desolder/solder SMD, you would have a hard time finding the required components.

Only if MPEG2 is not working, too, you could consider a bad contact or lose cable inside, but I doubt that. Rover Instruments meters are very well built.
