I've somthing similar- PC, Sky, Wii, DVD Recorder (PS2 on other TV)
PC to TV using the VGA socket in the TV (Same as a stadard monitor)
Sky into DVD recorder & TV (2 connections) via SCART,
Wii into TV via. RGB input
DVD into TV via HDMI lead.
I've also got a surround sound system.
It's a right old rats nest behind my telly!
I can also plug my old VCR and Camcorder into the front of the DVD to record old tapes onto DVD.

Good luck!

Could you give us a bit more info on your TV and PC? What connections do both have?

The best way would be if the PC has dual video outputs, then you could use the second output to run the TV - that's what I do. If the second video output from the PC is digital (DVI) then you'll need an HDMI input on the TV and a suitable cable for DVI->HDMI. If it's analogue (VGA) then you need a similar port on the TV set and a VGA cable.

All the rest of that stuff can be connected too, but first you need to see how many of what type of inputs your TV has, and then start mapping what goes where.

But anyway, let us know some more info.
