Second this, but seeing it at both demodulators would confirm it.

SwizzyMan, what kind of scope do you have? If it is capable of syncing on a separate signal from the one you are viewing, it's good to know how to do that for future reference. You could sync on the luma, the sync separator stage, or just by putting a probe somewhat near the flyback (not too close!), and then look at whatever you wanted with the other input.
