can anyone tell me the best way to connect DVD, Sky, & Vidio to the Tosh tv.

Usual response but i will add that if your dvd player has component video outputs, use those.

Various ways to connect depending on what you think is acceptable.

option 1 - RGB for both DVD and digibox but need to record via the RF.
Audio carried from TV to Amp and DVD to amp (TV passes audio from vcr and
digibox)

DVD > Digibox VCR scart ( use scart lead, set DVD to output RGB)
Digibox > TV (use scart lead into RGB scart socket)
Video > TV (scart lead into composite scart socket - Don't use an expensive cable, it would be wasted)
Aerial > digibox > vcr > TV

DVD > Amp (using digital co-ax or optical -identical quality, depends on your available connections)
TV > Amp (using 2x phono connection)

-----------------------------------------

Option 2 - RGB for digibox and s-video for DVD. Allows recording via the scart. Audio the same as above

DVD > TV (scart into s-video scart)
Digibox > TV (scart into RGB scart)
Digibox > VCR (composite scart - Don't use expensive cable for this one)
Aerial > digibox > vcr > TV

DVD > Amp (using digital co-ax or optical -identical quality, depends on your available connections)
TV > Amp (using 2x phono connection)
------------------------------------------

Option 3 - TV doesn't pass audio or doesn't pass it with decent quality. Will require manual switching between sources. Use video connections as option 1 or 2.

DVD > Amp (using digital co-ax or optical -identical quality, depends on
your available connections)
TV > Amp (using 2x phono connection)
VCR > Amp (using 2x phono connection)
Digibox > Amp (using 2x phono connection)
