What is the best way to connect all of these devices to my TV so that i can record my dvd`s onto vhs while still being able to record programs off sky and normal tv , though not at the same time obviously.
I have 2 scart sockets on the back of my TV (AV1 and AV2). 2 on the back of my video ( L1 and L2) and also the 2 on the back of the DVD player.
any help would be appreciated.

One suggestion (though there will probably be others).
You don`t say whether either scart on the TV is RGB or S-Video capable, so assuming neither are.
DVD Scart 1 to AV1 or AV2 on TV. Digibox TV Scart to AV1 or AV2 on TV. Digibox VCR Scart to L2 on the VCR. L1 Scart on the VCR to Scart 2 on the DVD player.
The VCR will record from the Digibox if you set it to the L2 channel and from the DVD if you set it to the L1 channel. For normal TV recording you will need your TV aerial looped through the VCR to the TV. The only thing I am not sure of is whether you will get playback from the VCR in Stereo. It should be okay as the scart connections are looped through the DVD player to the TV.
