Can the VCR play a tape?
If so, do that and tune Ch8 for the best picture via the RF lead out from the VCR to the aerial socket on the TV!
If you have a picture, plug in the FV box [with an aerial attached] via scart out to the scart in on the VCR.
Select AV on the VCR.
You should now see the FV screen, not the video tape!
If not report on what's happening. [I don't think the attenuator will be needed].

PS. Crossed posts with John. It's very late!

TV is a Hitachi CTP213 from 1977

The VCR i use as a modulator cannot play a tape, i have a second VCR for that, which doesnt work on RF out onto the TV. I have to use the LG as a converter using SCART.

I have done as you suggested, and that’s when i was told the signal was too strong. I’ll try again tomorrow - more like later and report back.

Thanks for helping
