You don't which model of G11, but if it is equipped with a teletext decoder it has to be operational for the sync circuit to be completed.

If the decoder is unplugged, or unpowered for any reason, then you will have a problem. There is a way round this by adding a link wire to re-establish the correct sync feed without the decoder present.

If, however, it is not a teletext equipped set, ignore this post!
