Can anyone help me, I'm too stupid/lazy to work it out myself.

Have a DVD, surround sound amp, sky digibox, video and TV. How the heck do I get it all cabled up correctly so that I can play sky and the DVD through the surround sound speakers.

The TV has two scarts, and the amp should have all the necessary connections for it to work. What's the best setup ??

Shame me!

Best setup would be have a coax digital connector from AMP to DVD.

RGB Scart1 from DVD to T.V.

VCR scart to Sky digibox Scart input.

Sky scart output to scart input2 of T.V.

RCA output from T.V to RCA input of AMP to allow sky/video surround sound.

Unless you have the new Sky Plus digibox which has an optical output. This would provide digital sound to the AMP.

I had this same problem, don't ask how I did it. I was just lucky!

I have got my surround set through the video,so all i do is play sky channels and tv channels through the video which gives the sound through the hi-fi/amp using the 2 red/white audio input/output cables.Dvd is supplied by playstation 2 using Digital optical output on the games machine through to the video.
Better sound/picture using digital optical output.
Hope this helps,or confuses you more!!

Cheers guys and girls. I'll have a fiddle around tonight, and when I get bored with that I'll try out your suggestions.

You daisy chain the Digibox and VCR together but the Digibox has to go into the VCR and then VCR to TV otherwise you cant video Sky.

I have a two way scart taking video from the DVD in one direction and Terrestrial TV sound into the Amp, as I have no other way of getting the normal TV through all the speakers.
