I'm guessing, but its likely that Sky uses control signals in the scart lead to take control of the TV. Some TVs have 2 scart sockets which have different priorities - this might be worth exploring. Or disable the appropriate signal in the lead so that you need to press AV on the tv to switch to Sky. Or use a UHF or phono plug connection for the Sky. Either of these may solve the switching problem , but the UHF route would give a degraded picture. Or investigate using an intelligent scart switching hub.
Hope this is useful. I'm sure others know more than me!

Subject: video intercom and SkyTV
Dear all,
While looking at AT in Extra Care Housing, we found that in one scheme, there was a video intercom
system that allows tenants to view who's at the main entrance of the scheme on their TV screen.
However, when the tenant has SkyTV, the video intercom system was cancelled out and it was not
possible to see the the main entrance picture anymore.
Is there a way to avoid this clash of two systems and keep SKyTV aswell as the video intercom
system on the same TV?
Thank you.
