If it is not possible to achieve through cables alone - it may be possible with a scart switcher unit. Worst case scenario, you might have to do a bit of plugging/unplugging to get what you want.

the sky has an in and out scart sockets as does the dvd recorder and the vhs player. It is only the tv that has 1 socket. At the moment i have the aerial coming in from the sky dish into my skybox, analog aerial into the dvd recorder. then have an aerial out of dvd into skybox and out of skybox into vhs. I have a scart from tv into dvd, from dvd into skybox.
I can record from tv/sky onto vhs (which i'm not really fussed about) and i can watch videos. I can also watch dvds and i can record onto dvd but from the tv only. I can't find the video channel or the sky channel.
does that explain it a little better?
