Scart before the horse?

Hi guys newbie here … can any of you digitally enhanced/experienced types help a beffudled old timer? I am trying to set up a “system” as follows…

TV (twin scart AV1 & AV2)
Sky Digibox (twin scart VCR & TV)
DVD recorder (twin scart OUT and TV)

I have connected up as per several websites advice –

RF ariel into Skybox then out to DVDR then out to TV

Scart from DVDR to TV

Scart from Digibox to TV

BUT when I connect Scart DVDR – Digibox it all goes wrong – The DVDR will only see Sky signal The TV channels tuned in are all unwatchable

If I remove the DVDR – Digibox scart I can record from all TV channels fine BUT DVD will not play back until I restore Scart ….ARghhhhhhhhhh what am I doing wrong?
