Cable Forum - View Single Post - Help - screen goes blank when viewed through VCR

Before I phone CS, has anyone else come across this problem? Many things I've taped from the digital channels come out with a blank screen (but sound is OK). To get the picture back when the TV is tuned to the VCR channel and the VCR is tuned to the STB, I need to turn on the STB. The analogue channels are fine. It's not the tape as I've also been watching cable via the VCR channel and the screen has gone blank. I haven't noticed it happening if I leave the STB on, but I confess I'm not 100% sure about that.
