Changed from HDMI to scart

Hi all, and for my first post, I have a problem ;)

I recently had a lightning strike hit our house, it took at a number of AV bits, including my HD tv :mad:. The tele is being repaired under house insurance, so I'm now stuck with a naff 24" CRT display.
As the tele isnt HD, I'm now using the scart connection on AV1. This is coming directly from the V+ box, but sound is going via optical to my amp (as it always has been). I'm getting sound from the V+ box, but no picture. No picture what so ever, as if there isnt a signal. Now I assume this is because its still trying to output over the digital/HDMI channel? How do I switch it back to analogue/scart?
I've rung VM, but they have been useless. So I've tried holding down OK with standby, and then pressing reset. This then brings up a screen on the tele! IMPORTANT do not turn off... blah blah, however, after I assume, some scan, it reboots and apart from a flash white screen, I'm back to nothing on the tele....
I've even tried the format trick using the remote, but still no picture.

Anyone got any ideas how I can sort this out, reset to default or soemthing?

TIA
Dave

Q: I've set my V+ output to HDMI or Component, but I don't have an HDTV and now I can't see any pictures and me Dad's gonna kill me. Help!
A: Hold in the Stop and Play/Pause buttons on the front panel, and press Reset. Keep Stop and Play/Pause held in until the display says 'boot'.
After a few seconds the display should say 'outpt'. Press the Fast Forward button several times until the display says 'Sd', then press OK.
Wipe away the sweat. Wait for the V+ to reboot. Make a small monetary donation to Cable Forum. Vow never to be so foolish again.

You f'nn superstar!!! :angel::angel::woot::woot:

Now 1st, thing, why couldn't VM tell me this, instead of sending an engineer to my house whilst I'm at work, and I didnt ask for such a thing??!
And 2nd, why didn't I see that point - possibly because I didnt read all the way to the bottom of the FAQ :lol:

Glad you've got it sorted :)

About your first point....My neighbour had a similar problem, engineer came round and still couldn't sort it. I had to go round and do it for him lol.
