Check both ends of the scart lead are fully inserted.
Take special care with the sides of each plug as these can not be fully in even though the lead does appear correct.

Try the tuner and see if broadcast images are the same when fed in via the recorder.
If they're not then the scart is not the problem

Although it shouldn't change by itself you could also check the video output settings on the recorder and the input of the tv to check its all RGB and not another type.

Sounds like one of the pins in the lead may have been damaged at one end.
