If the VCR is playing, you cannot pick up what is being played - Haven't tried to play an STB recording on a VCR -> TV only connection, will give that a go.
Aerial -> VCR -> TV is OK 
STB -> VCR -> TV is not OK

It does sound like this is an interference problem where both the STB and the VCR are outputting on the same RF channel as jimbo originally said. (Technically, the STB could be passing through an analogue cable channel on the same frequency as the VCR instead of outputting it,depending on how old the STB is.)
If so, the only solution would be to retune the output of the VCR such that it uses a free RF channel. This should be possible and explained in the VCR manual (either via a dial on the back of the VCR or a via a menu system, depending on how old the VCR is). The TV would then need to be tuned into the new VCR channel.
