Connecting TV to freeview, video & dvd recorder

Hi,

Would really appreciate some advice here. I've just got a freeview box and would like to connect tv, freeview, video and dvd up. Here's what I've got:

TV: 1 x scart socket
Freeview: 1 x scart
Video: 2 x scarts
DVD: 2 x scarts

3 x scart leads
1 x 3-way scart splitter (no switches)
2 x aerial leads

How can they all be connected up, or do I need extra/different equipment? If possible I would like to be able to record from video / dvd / both.

Thanks in advance!

    The Scart nightmare is why I go for all-in-one boxes where possible.
    Suggest:
    Ditch Video, get a DVD Recorder/Player
    Ditch Freeview Box, get Freeview Hard Disk Recorder
