Help!!! How do I record sky on my dvd recorder

We finally decided to make the leap to a dvd recorder and brought a sony one yesterday. Having spent practically all evening trying to set it up I am absolutly stumped!!! How on earth do I get the dvd to record sky and how do I get the video to stay in the loop so to speak. Any plain simple english help who be a life saving.

Thanking all in advance.

    I don't understand "video to stay in the loop". Anyway, the best place to get answers is here:

    If you can't figure it out, go to the Forum and list your equipment (make/model for each unit) and what you expect it to do.

    Hi Little

    Does your TV have 2 SCARTS ? If so pop the video on one, if free - out of the loop !

    Not sure about the sky stuff but you may get to hear about Sky+
    Rich people save then spend.
    Poor people spend then save what's left.
  • Just ditch the video recorder, I did recently and have never looked back. Go on...you will be fine.

    Any precious videos you want to keep just connect to the dvd recorder with a scart cable and tranfer to dvd.
  • plug the sky box into the scart input into the DVD recorder and then plug the TV into the scart output.

    If you've got a DVD recorder i resume the video will only be used for watching videos so bin the scart from it and use the RF areial socket to go from tv to video and tune a channel in on the TV.
