    Hi,

    I’m trying to receive communication from a second Arduino to VE sheld but find that doing so via either the RX pin or any of the Digital pins via SoftwareSerial causes the video out to stop outputting. This is expected, I assume. Does anyone know any way around it?

    Serial communication is not possible when using video. The interrupts interfere with the video timing. The TVout library includes a polling serial implementation. See TVout documentation, and the “pollserial” implementation.
