No, SCART1 is RGB (but I use it for my digibox). SCART2 is just a standard
one, which I'm having to plug my DVD player into..

If the jacks on the player and Yellow, Red and White it sounds like
composite (not component) video and left/right audio... You will want to
avoid composite video at all costs!

I'm not 100% familiar with Sky Digibox but if ut has two scarts
(one TV and one VCR)
you may be able to plug the DVD into the VCR socket of the digibox.
Then when you switch on the DVD the Digibox might pass it through. Quite
a few Scart devices can work this way.
If it works it means both digibox and DVD are connected to the RGB scart
socket.

Ah, okay. So composite leads (Y/R/W) just wouldn't produce any picture when
connected to component inputs? So I need component leads? That would explain
it!

As mention by others , if the sockets are Red,white,yellow this is two
audio + 1 composite(=rubbish) signal.

Component is video only - same shape sockets but usually coloured
Red,Green, Blue and need a good quality cable.
