connecting sky digital, vcr and DVD all to 1 telly??

Hi y`all
Now that I have my AIWA 370 DVD player working I need to work out how to connect it to my telly that has only 1 scart plug and not much else.
I need the scart for my sky digi and need other connector onn sky for my vid.
Vid has only one scart.
Is it possible to get a scart splitter for my telly.
Someone else out there must have a similar disaster?

Thanks

Cant you do this

Scart from VCR to the Sky Box. Scart from Sky box to the DVD player. Then scart from DVD player to the TV??? This is only if your DVD player got two scart sockets as mine does as I have the pioneer 636. IF not then you have to get a Scart spliter

You can get Scart switch boxes from Maplin. I run one that feeds two VCRs and a DVD to a one Scarted TV. You have switches to select the input source, and another set of switched to select what VCR 1 records.

About 20 quid.

Dixons do a JVC goldplatted splitter(without switch) for 12.99

Not sure about the quality though, i`ve been thinking about getting one as both my dreamcast and dvd player perform much better through the RGB socket and I dont have a pass through on my dvd player :(
