Depends on what features your TV and Video equipment have.
Some TV's and Video equipment can communicate data over specific connection terminals.
However, generally this will work fine if your TV is limited to two Scart Inputs....
Using three Scart - Scart Cables:
Television Scart 1 to Sky Scart (TV).
Television Scart 2 to DVD Scart.
VCR Scart 1 to Sky Scart (VCR).
ie. the VCR loops through the Sky Box and shares TV Scart 1.
RF Cables:
Aerial Input to SKY RF IN.
SKY RF Out 1 to VCR RF IN.
VCR RF Out to Television Aerial Socket.
This provides both RF and AV recording capabilities.
(You may be required to activate VCR modulator for RF output).
NB: There may be preferable connections, depending if TV scart sockets are RGB, S-VHS capable, TV / Video equipment has Q-Link/Smart Link, External Link or if the TV has integrated digital decoder(s).
