Two more questions though...then I'll be outta here (unless I can help someone else with some other subject!)
1. I am not able to see the DVD recorder via RF on the other TV. (Unfortunately the DVD recorder doesn't output its signal via RF (it only has RF pass thru) so I was hoping to be able to use the VCR as a kind of modulator to get that DVD signal upstairs). Is that possible or what else do I need?

2. When I follow your great diagram Altis I'm getting really bad recording on the DVD recorder via scart. It goes all B&W with greeny bars. The scart itself on the DVD recorder is fine because I tried my dv camera into it and that looked great. Problem only seems to be apparent from VCR in that particular configuration. VCR scart to TV works fine too so I don't think its a broken cable. Could it just be crosstalk or is there another way?

Any more ideas would truely be welcomed! (and hey, its a good job I decided to keep the Dreamcast and the PS2 out of the system!)

Thanks everyone for any thoughts!
