Channel sound on sound

I can hear the sound from whichever terrestrial channel my TV is tuned
to behind the sound on the channel I'm watching from my STB which is
connected via scart to the TV (AV1). Is this a connection problem or
is my TV on it's way out? I've never noticed it before so I think it
has only happened in the last few days.

Is it loud or faint?

Are you switching the TV to AV or relying on autoswitching?

It could be connection problems so try disconnecting your SCARTs and
reconnecting them in other or simpler ways as a test. I've found that does
the trick sometimes.

You could retune your TV to a null channel but then you could get hiss in
the background.

Open the scart plug at the TV end and cut the wire to pins 1, 3, and 19. It's a
bit fiddly but it works.

I had something similar the other day. Turned out the scart plug was not
fully pushed in to the back of the video.

Is it possible to get locking scart connectors?

It certainly is (CPC do them), if you want to swing the stb around your
head like a lasso,

Hmmm.... I'll have to get the works catalogue out tomorrow morning.

but in practice the flat-cabled plugs with central
rather than angled access are usually secure enough.

I'm using one of them at the mo', but I think that's what's causing
another problem, I'm getting interference bands after I plugged in a Sky
box. It was fine when I just had the video plugged in.
When I get a TUIT I'll have a plug around....
