Camera distribution doesn't work but satellite does

Working with coax rf system. We want to broadcast via video camera to the overflow rooms (rs, primary, etc). Currently, the satellite works perfect with the coax rf distribution system. When we disconnect the output feed out of the Blonder Tongue combiner from the passive 4-splitter (I think it said fm splitter onit) and connect the coax containing the camera feed (camera yellow composite goes into a VCR then send rv coax from vcr to a/v cabinet) to the input of the 4-splitter nothing works in the outlying rooms. Yet a tv in the a/v cabinet (hooked to the 4-way splitter) does.
I am assuming that there is a distribution splitter or amplifier that is not working with the vcr signal since the all the rooms we want to have a signal in are all labeled on one coax coming out of the 4-way splitter (4 rooms on that one feed, so it has to be split somewhere in the attic as there is nothing in the a/v cabinet).
Any thoughts as to why the satellite works awesome but a vcr set to channel 3 does not?
