Has anybody wired Sky digital + DVD rec + video rec ?

I'm having some difficulty wiring my TV/sky/video recorder /dvd recorder and wonder if anyone has done this successfully and could offer advice.
I currently have the aerial and coax from the dish running into my Sky decoder which then uses the 9v ouput to send the signal to other rooms around the house (via a splitter box in the loft and magic eyes in each room). This works well and allows me to watch terestrial or sky in any of the rooms (as well as watching different terestrial or same sky channels in any other rooms).
My problem is how to hook up the Video recorder and DVD recorder with the Sky digital, without making changes to the above.
My sky digital box, DVD recorder and Video recorder are all connected to a TV via 3 into 1 scart connector. Each works individually but when I have the sky on (e.g. to watch in another room) and try to put on a video or DVD, it interferes with the signal to the TV.
Sorry if this seems complicated. I'm happy to clarify any of the above points if you can help me find a solution.

:snow_laug :snow_laug :snow_laug :snow_laug :snow_laug Had a similar problem last year when we bought a DVD. We could get Sky, DVD Player & Terrestrial TV to work, but not the VCR. All those wires & cables .... only sorted it all a couple of weeks ago, and that was by trial and error using all the permutations of cables into sockets, I could think of.
My set-up is:-
Scart Cable from TV to DVD Player.
Scart Cable from TV to Sky Box.
Red/White/Yellow Cables from TV to VCR.
Note: We only use the SKY box for the free Satellite channels, having got rid of SKY ........ all those repeats!!!!!!!!! And I thought the BBC/ITV were bad with their repeats!!;)It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!0 -
Yes, we usually have them all on together, several scart leads.If you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in
