You are mistaken.

It happens like this: if the NTL box detects a switching signal and an incoming picture on the VCR scart, it will send the picture straight through the TV scart to the display. It's even decent enough to pass through RGB signals.

With CR3 (I'm not sure about other software versions), switching the STB to standby and back again will cause the STB to 'take charge' again and send the digital picture to the TV (and probably to the VCR too, as scarts allow simultaneous two-way traffic). You then have to set it to standby again to watch the vided/DVD/game/whatever.

I hope I've explained that well enough!
