    Sorry, but having a few problems.

    I am able to hook my sky+ box to DVD using the rf output. But I'm unable to hook it up through the Scart lead.

    I'm using a 4 year old Phillips DVD recorder. One scart says "To TV" the other says Aux 1/0. Which Scart on the DVD player should I be using to feed the DVD player with.

    Are you connecting your Sky+ box to your TV, DVD recorder and player? Better off not recording using RF -- use the scart instead for stereo sound and better picture quality.

    Connect the Sky+ to the TV using one scart and the other output of the digibox to the DVD recorder.

    Take your terrestrial input and connect it to the RF in on the digibox. Connect RF out of the digibox to the RF in of your VCR/DVD recorder. Finally, connect the RF out of your VCR/DVD recorder to your TV.

    I'm not sure I've answered your question. You can stick up a diagram if not.

    Well, I have one scart going from Digibox to TV. I have a 2nd scart going from Digibox to DVD Recorder. Playing DVD's is fine.

    But when I try to record on the DVD Recorded, it keep telling me that there is no signal.

    The only way I can record is if I link the digibox to the DVD recorder using a rf cable and then by tuning the digibox into the DVD recorder.

    Are you sure you are using a "full" scart cable. Some of them have only some of the pins for specific purposes.

    I think you need to loop Sky through your DVD recorder.
    Sounds like you currently have your DVD looped through the digibox, so no Sky going to the recorder.
    Connect digibox scart (vcr) to DVD recorder Scart Aux (AV in/out).
    Connect DVD recorder scart out (to TV) to the TV as name suggests.
    If your TV has 2 scarts then you could connect the second digibox scart to this allowing you to switch between Sky and DVD display on the TV when both are switched on.
    Otherwise with only one scart to the TV, Sky will display on the AV direct, DVD will display when you turn on DVD, choose your source as Scart to record Sky.
    Most DVD recorders Ive seen have completely separate in and out scarts, so there is a possibility of scart conflicts on yours as one of the DVD scarts is input and output
