No Sky Q Mini Composite Video Signal When Watching Sports+

Hi, I have a Sky Q mini box connected to an older analogue TV which only has composite input (via SCART and phono).  I've been able to watch all listed channels no problem for a couple of years, along with any of the buit in on-demand apps, using the AV connection on the mini box.

 

However, this week whenever if I try to view any sports programmes using the Red button (ie. football league streams which are not on one of the main channels) I get a blank screen.  I can HEAR the audio, it's just as if the video signal is being blocked.  If I press the "back" button to return to a regular Sky Spots channel - the picture reappears??

 

I've tried changing settings in the Settings > Setup > Audio Visual menu but nothing I alter has any effect.

 

However, if I plug in my computer monitor using the HDMI connection, the picture displays as it should.

 

Any ideas guys?  It's an older TV but with a cracking picture and I don't really want to have to buy an LED TV with HDMI if there is a simple fix.  Many thanks if you can help.

I'd think that's quite possible.  The designers of Sports+ have probably never seen an analogue television and are entirely unaware that Mini boxes can output such a signal.
