You have to run direct to the TV. Running the DVD player through the VCR activates Macrovision copy protection, which is the degeneration you see, even if you aren't recording.

Has anyone suggested this yet?

Just curious.

Maybe a stupid question, but have you toggled the TV/Video button on your remote when using coax? RCA outputs are always 'hot.' but the coax can be toggled off with that button so you can watch something on the TV tuner while recording something different on the VCR.
Also, you may have brushed the channel selector switch on the VCR, and the VCR coax signal is now being sent to channel 4.
