    Are you running the input to the VCR FROM the settop box? If the signal is being scrambled, then you may have bypassed the settop box which does the unscrambling.

    Thanks for the quick response, The video is now good .I didn't have the vcr set on the same channel as the TV. 3&3 or in my case 4&4 now I get a little static sound in the audio. Any ideas? Thanks again Man!
