Can you change the output RF channel that the VCR uses?
Have u tried this m8y?

I'm assuming that your video pictures were fine before the STB was installed so it really does sound like the STB and the VCR are broadcasting to your TV on the same RF channel - it is possible to change this to a different frequency on both your STB and on your VCR so that they don't interfere with each other.

Look for a tiny flathead screw type adjuster thingy (might be covered with a bung) on the back of your VCR and give it a tweak and it should change the RF channel that it broadcasts on. Then retune your TV to this and have a look.

On another note - the install tech should have checked this before leaving you..
