Wrong forum mate!!

Welcome to the forums BTW I'm sure a mod will move it to the home cinema hardware forum shortly ;)

Firstly, welcome to the forums. :)

I take it you've heard of Macrovision?!? It may save you some time to know that you're not going to get too far with your copying plans... ;)

Personally, I'd feed the digibox through the video, and then onto the TV. I'd link the DVD straight to the TV on the other SCART (preferably RGB).

Well, that depends if the player has macrovision disabled or not (or if it can be hacked) - i'm gonna stop there ;)

EDIT: answered after I posted, duh.

Need more details to help - will you be recording off sky as well? and are you using RGB output for sky and DVD?

This might give you another option

Scart Control Units (http://www.lektropacks.co.uk/acatalog/bt-201.html). There a different versions of these around, available from electrical stores.

Just a suggestion!! :D
