What is on the TV when you have Foxtel going through the VCR? Nothing? Bad signal? Blue screen?

Make sure you have the correct "input" selected on the VCR for the Foxtel.

If you have a DVD player, plug that into the VCR in place of the Foxtel and see if that works.

Just get something else to plug into it - like a PS2 or other game device, or a video camera, or something - doesn't matter as long as it produces a picture.

IDea is to get a different source besides FOXtel to plug into it, to see if it's fuzzy/not working - then you'll know if the issue is the FOXtel box/cable, or the cable going to the TV from the DVD/VCR.

Or, if it's just **** in general.
