If everything is working Ok, then that suggests that the Skybox
composite video output is a tad "odd" and HV cant lock onto it.

This is not unprecedented in my experience; I had an unsolved
problem using a JoyTV tuner box driving an LCD monitor.  It worked
on all sources except DVD.  With DVD the picture never locked.  The
same RF was displayed perfectly on the other "normal" tellys.

So, have you an alternative CV source you can try?  Obviously they
were more tolerant of whatever was "odd" about the DVD CV.  I
speculated that it might be macrovision, but in the end took out the
JoyTV / LCD monitor, and bought a cheapo telly :-)

And a wall mount...  Which I put far too high...  WAF for the
kitchen telly was never good...
