What recorder are you using? I've spent quite a bit of time with a Panasonc DMR-E80 recently, and might be able to offer some specific thoughts on connecting it.
The satellite receiver will limit your options some, I suspect. To record a broadcast, you will need to rely on the satellite receiver to provide the recorder with the signal to record, at which point you can't switch the satellite receiver to another channel without recording yourself channel surfing. You could record something from the satellite while watching a DVD on another DVD player, but to do that you'll need to connect the DVD recorder inline with the satellite receiver (s-video and stereo analog audio from satellite to DVD recorder, then from recorder to 1050). The 1050's VCR record output uses whatever the active input is, so you can't connect the DVD recorder to that, tell it to use the satellite input, and watch the DVD player input at the same time.
