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?
check the connections, swap the cable for one you know to be good (just to test)

what where you trying to record to the dvd maybe it was marcrovision protected although i think they only do that for 'front row' movies

maybe try turning the vcr off and then record from the ntl box or somit?

maybe hook the second output from the ntl box direct to the dvd recorder in?


also you might want to look into a cheap dvd player for upstairs you can get them for around £30 in some places and there are plenty about for under £50
