Proposal:

Purchase a video/audio switch box from a video game dealer or other consumer electronics retailer. You might be able to purchase a box that accommodates both S-video and composite video connections.

Satellite dish to receiver Satellite In

Satellite receiver's S-video and corresponding L/R stereo audio to switch box

Satellite Composite video and corresponding L/R out to the VCR's composite video and L/R stereo inputs.

VCR composite output and L/R stereo outputs to the switch box.

DVD outputs to TV's S-video input and corresponding L/R stereo inputs

Switch box outputs to matching TV inputs.
