The only recording device you have is the DVD/Video combo, and you want to be able to record to it from 2 separate devices.
Your options therefore seem to be -
1. If the DVD has two inputs (ideally both scart, but you may be able to tolerate one scart, one co-ax), connect the output from the Sky and digi boxes into the DVD recorder, and the output from that to the TV.
2. Connect the outputs from the Sky and digi boxes into a scart switcher, then the output from that to the input on the DVD.
3. Buy a second recording device (DVD, video, PVR), and connect each of the two recorders to the TV (with the Sky box connected to one recorder, and the digi box to the other)0 -
