I have RF entering the Freeview tuner/recorder and then off to the VHS

randomly.

Any suggestions as to the cause?


Connection.

In recorder/tuner socket. I think not the SCART lead as I swapped for
another.

Current fix is to rest the SCART plug (it's the bottom one) on a book so
that the weight of the machine (not much) slightly bends the plug and
socket. I regret to admit that this is as much DIY as I'm going to perform.

Doesn't tally with my model of the type of signal carried by SCART; I
reckoned the fault had to be frequency dependent.

Best regards,

I must admit that I have had similar problems with SCART plugs - they do
not seem to be the most robust of connections - one of the TV's inputs
only works intermittently and you have to waggle the cable/prop it up
(similar to yours) - the other works fine!
