Connect the TV out scart of the sky+ box to AV2 on the DVD recorder and AV1 of the recorder to your TV AV1 scart socket. Go into the sky menu and set the box to RGB and do the same with the DVD recorder and the TV.
The AV1 channel on your DVD recorder will now show the sky picture and pass through the picture when the DVD recorder is off. To copy a programme to the DVD recorder make sure it is showing the sky channel and just press record to record what is on at that time or start aplayback and press record on the DVD recorder. Use the "copy" button in the sky planner to add multiple programmes to be copied after each other. It's very simple once set up.

You need to go into the menu system of the sky box and the DVD recorder and the TV. If you have the manuals to hand it will tell you. On the sky box it's "services" button then option 4 then option 1. Not sure on the others as you don't say make or model but look in the setup menu's of each.
