Back on topic, blimey
peck you've posed a problem! As you've discovered for yourself, 'scart' can be a bit of a bugger - roll on DVB-IP!
Let's take it one stage at a time and, since I already have a drawing, we'll start with that:

If you want to, you can ignore the FM connection and the audio hookup to the hi-fi. Replace what I've labelled as 'Main VCR' with your DVD recorder.
You will probably be worrying about the big box labelled 'Distribution Amp'. If you can afford another £20-£30 then get one (click on the picture for my recommendation). You can manage without it but you will lose the ability to watch a terrestrial channel while recording simultaneously something else from the STB. If this is not a problem then just wire from the RF output to your remote TV.
Get all this connected up and working first. Make sure all the possible combinations work correctly - there are many to test.
When that is up and running I suggest you try to add the VCR by connecting it to the other scart on the DVD recorder. With luck, and a following wind, when you play a tape all the other equipment will switch over and you'll see it on the TV (possibly both of them).
If you get that far then you'll want to add the S-video from the PC. Does the scart switch have an S-video input? If so then you could try slipping that in between the STB and the TV and use that to switch between everything else and the S-video.
I hope all that makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't.
