TV, Sky, DVDR connections

I am sure this must have been posted before, but there are so many pages to browse through! Please can somebody sort out my connections.

I am trying to connect my Samsung LCD TV, LG DVD Recorder and Sky box and all have 2 scart leads each. The connections I am doing are -

External Aerial socket lead in Sky Box Aerial In.
Sky box RF OUT to DVDR Aerial In.
DVDR RF OUT into TV Aerial In.

Sky box TV lead connected to TV Ext 1(RGB)
Sky box VCR lead connected to DVDR Euro AV2 Decoder
TV Ext2 (AV) connected to DVDR Euro AV1 (Audio/Video)

I can record the channel I am viewing, but I cannot get to programme the channels on my DVDR, hence I am not able to do Timer recording.

MAny thanks in advance.
