Before I start I would like to point out that I normally have no trouble with stuff like this, but I am stumped this time.

My parents have the following:

1 TV with 1 scart and aerial connection
1 vcr with an aerial in, an aerial out and 1 scart socket
1 freeview box with an aerial in and an aerial out and 2 scart sockets
1 dvd player with 1 scart socket
1 scart splitter with 3 'in' and 1 'out'

how the h*ll do I connect these up. I have tried every which way but whatever way, 1 of them doesn't work properly. I can't have the video switched on with the freeview or the dvd which means that they can't record channel 5 or kids programs for their grand children (am I tugging enough heart strings?!!)
The scart splitter is not a switched one is this the problem?
