I have a

tv with 3 scarts
Sky box (only 1 available scart)
Freeview with 2 scarts
dvd recorder with 2 scarts

Whats the best way of connecting those?

At the moment I have the sky going to the recorder, recorder going to the tv. This works perfect but I've now got a freeview box to add to the mix!

I know you'll probably say I don't need the freeview etc but it's a long story!

cheers for any help!
 
Can’t you connect the free view box direct to the TV as it has 2 scarts free? Or do you want to record freeview channels through the recorder? if so you will need to buy a scart switch box so you can have more than 2 scarts going to the recorder, there only £10 or so maybe more for a decent brand etc.

Hope that helps.
 
If you don't need to record from freeview (which you shouldn't if you've got Sky) then just plug it into a spare SCART on the TV.
 
I want to record the freeview as it has setanta sports and my sky doesn't!
My mate reckons I can just put them both in the recorder and that'll work? I have my recorder connected also by components if this helps?

If you have your video connected to the TV with the components then plug both devices in the video.

Or

Buy a two way scart switch box and put the freeview/Sky into that and then into the recorder and switch between the two.
