[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 640857, member: 262829"] It would help if you can give us the exact model numbers and attach the manuals for: 1 - DVD Player 2 - Samsung LCD TV 3 - Humax Foxsat Freesat PVR 4 - Sky box (people living outside UK like myself are not familiar with it) If your DVD is indeed a player (not a recorder), then you need to connect it directly to the TV, provided you have enough inputs there. The way I see it, your system has four video and audio sources, and you should be able to connect them all to the TV, if it has at least four inputs: 1 from DVD player 1 from Sky box 2 from Freesat box (as it has two LNB inputs, then it should also have two AV outputs. Not sure why you are using only the HDMI cable (if this is for only one output, then what about the second?) You may have to get into the TV menus and enable all inputs. That is why I need the manuals. BTW, the VCR connectors of the boxes are OUTPUT signals to connect to VCR or DVD recorders, not INPUT sockets, so you shouldn't connect the DVD output to them. This is not advisable, even if as you say, it worked before.
