Re: Sky blocking signal to VCR



the output from the sky box is probably on, or too close to, the output freq
of the vcr. go to Services, 4, 01, select, rf outlets on your sky menus.
change the rf out freq on the digi box to something that's blank in your
area 21-68. if the main tv and vcr are not connected via scart cables,
you'll have to retune them to the new freq you will choose.
