Following the link above and their instructions, it would appear that I could do with 2 x scarts on both the VCR and the digibox. I already had one splitter which I wasn't using and have bought another one this afternoon (probably would have been cheaper to buy a slightly more expensive digibox with 2 x scarts on the back :-). Tomorrow, when I have more time (because I get very flustered trying to do these things when I am pushed for time), I'll try it again, following all the advice and let you know how I get on.
