Help: connecting TV/Sky/DVD recorder

We have bought a new tv stand and disconnected all our cables and now I cant get the dvd to record anything. I can play back prerecorded programmes but have to change channel, it doesnt do it automatically when I press play.

Could someone please tell me the setup. We have a tv, dvd recorder and Sky all with two scarts. I am not sure whether to plug the aerial into the dvd or Sky and there is also another cable that I have connected between the dvd and Sky which might be wrong.

Thanks
