A tricky one to explain without seing the complete set up with all the sockets but you should be able to daisy chain them. i.e. Connect the set top box to the sky box to the dvd recorder (using scart) and then the dvd recorder to the surround sound system (using a rca phono lead) and connecting the dvd recorder to the tv using scart. the best I can describe it im affraid as all units have different sockes (i.e inputs/outputs).
I'd connect the TV to the DVD recorder via a scart. Then the Sky to the DVD via a scart. The Amp should be connected to the DVD via 3 phonos red/white/yellow and - if you want to and can do - connect the TV to the Amp using White/red audio phonos and if your sky box has phono outputs for sound - do the same for that so you can then toggle your amp to select different inputs from different sources e.g your sky box/DVD/TV. This allows whatever you are watching to be heard through your surround sound system. Your TV will only be in Stereo though. Your DVD should be in whatever sound you chose and your Sky sound will be in whatever the program is being broadcast in.
