How many scart sockets does your video and TV have? Ideally you need 2 on each so your VCR has a lead from the STB and a lead to the TV, whilst another lead goes from the STB to the TV.
When recording on the VCR you need to have the VCR tuned to the Scart socket served directly by the STB lead, not from the TV.
If the TV is off there will be no signal down the TV > VCR lead, yet if the TV is on the TV > VCR lead will only get the channel being watched by the TV.
Edit: Doh I should have known altis would be along with
