TV scart, not video scart.

Yes there is an option to turn the signalling off and on.

With it turned on, pin 8 should be at 12v when the programme is in 4:3 and 6v when it is in 16:9.

My box, and at least one other that I know of, has recently changed so that it is stuck on 12v regardless of the programme's aspect ratio. This may be linked to the recent code drop.

There is some suggestion that it may only affect black V+ boxes, with silver ones perhaps being unaffected.

I am wanting other users to measure the voltage that they are getting on both 16:9 and 4:3 programmes to try and see the extent of the problem.
