I went out and bought a new DVD recorder/player today since my old one broke down irrepairably, and have just been setting it all up and hooking it up. I've managed to hook it up to my tv and my Sky+ box - so if I want to record a programme to watch later, I can record from the tv (all freeview channels) or the Sky cable feed (so from all the channels I paid for through cable connection).

However, when I set the DVD recorder/player so that it is looking at whatever the Sky+ box is showing, I get the picture feed just fine, but I'm not getting any sound. If I switch it so it is looking at the tv (freeview channels) I get picture and sound just fine. I don't know where I am going wrong. On the back of the tv there is an Audio Output box with a red port and a white port - there is exactly the same on the back of the Sky+ box and the DVD recorder/player. No yellow port and no port on any of the three devices listed as Audio Input. I tried hooking up audio cables into the red and white ports in various combinations (DVD to tv, tv to Sky box, Sky box to DVD) and nothing worked.

How do I get the audio from my Sky+ box programmes to come through on my DVD recorder when I am looking at the Sky feed? Because right now if I wanted to record on DVD a programme on Sky, it records the pictures but no audio. When I am watching Sky normally, not through the DVD player, the sound is just fine, and as I mentioned before watching the freeview tv feed through the DVD player I can hear the sound.
