How to improve S-Video? - Click HERE for Original Thread

As I rarely dabble in video, excuse me if this is a goofy question.

I have a cheap FTA receiver and a cheap DVD recorder. The receiver has a single S-Video ouput, and gives a mediocre picture. The recorder is also mediocre, so that I only want to record stuff on the S-Video input, because using the composite input results in a lower quality picture. I tried using an S-Video Y cable for a while, one receiver output to TV, the other to the recorder. This was OK in that in that the quality of the recorded video improved, but the live TV image suffered, so this got old after a while.

So, is there a simple DIY solution to this? Is there some super Y cable design with terminators or whatever that solves the problem? A simple video buffer circuit to drive 2 inputs? Or is it just better to put away the cash and upgrade eventually?
