Maybe youve answered you own question?

More info required
What are you trying to record?
System?
Vosonic??

You need something with a tuner. An old VCR would do the trick or a freeview box or sky decoder etc.

Their website is on the fritz,

I think your cheapest option might be 3 of these

Stick them on the back of your sky box and run the RCA output direct to the TV and the vosonic at the same time.

Otherwise as mentioned before bung an old VCR in line and grab the feed from its RCA output

Dont split video with those since the level will get messed up - there are 3 outputs on sky boxes so use one to the tv and one to the recorder.

AV out is becoming a thing of the past since they cant send anything thats HD, component, HDMI etc out the output, and its simpler to leave it off then explain to angry customers why they cant get a cruddy composite signal from the tv to record.
