Rereading your first post I there was no direct connection between the VCR and TV in your setup. The STB was supposed to be the connection I believe.

With the STB on, it will be transmitting it's video signals down the SCART leads.

If the STB is off (standby) there will be no power to the Scart sockets on the STB, at least not to most of the video pins, but it does seem the audio pins might still be live. Thus there will be no transmission of the VCR's signal via the STB to the TV.

Furthermore I suspect there is no direct connection between the video pins in the STB.
