Ok - got an update.
Everything works until the 4 into 1 switcher gets involved.
I have it connected via phono to scart into the VCR and selecting E2 as the input source.
As soon as I run it back into the switcher it fails again so I assume that the VCR is totally passive and just forwards the signal directly to the other scart socket and into the switcher.
Anyone got any idea on why it does the same when I connect the STB to the VCR via coax?
Does the coax output from the STB still contain the terrestrial channels or are they filtered out? The VCR certainly doesn't seem to find them when tuning.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
