That sounds mighty fine.

Oh? You wanted help to connect it all? You don't say what connections your AV equipment have, so it's a bit difficult.

Assuming the all have SCARTs and the DVD and VCR have loop throughs:

GC -> DVD -> TV
SKY+ -> VCR -> TV

For GC, you should be using an RGB cable (note early 3rd party RGB cables were not in fact RGB cables) and this also assumings your TV has 2 RGB SCARTs and that you don't want to videotape your DVDs

If you only have 1 RGB, get a SCART splitter. If you have none, get a new tV.

My story so far
My TV is supposed to NTSC compatable

I put my DVD into scart 1
I put my SKY+ into scart 2
I put my phonos for my GC into AV3, on front of my telly.
Will try and get my VCR sorted soon, anyway....

My region 1 DVD's would play intermittent in black/white>colour, 2 second gap.
I got frustrated, anyhow I plugged my DVD into the back of sky+ instead of scart 1, the piscture is perfect
I have the problem with my GC, I put the red,white,yellow into the front of the TV, but the screen keeps flicking to and throw between colour and black/white on 3 games, they are

Super smash melee...ntsc
Resident Evil............ntsc
Zelda ocarina of time.....Pal

I think zelda runs at 60mhz, perhaps thats the reason it will not work correctly, but the other 2 titles should work, as my TV is ntsc compatable.
I am using free loader for my ntsc GC games.
All my other games, which are PAL, work fine.

Any ideas ?

Make sure your SKY is off when playing GC. In fact, make sure all other components are off.
