if you don't have enough points on your tv to connect the leads then buy a gamer/video adapter.
I have my tv going to one end of it..output... the other end has room for 3 lots of plugs/pins??? white yellow red. inputs..mine cost about $15.00 from a cheapie type shop. sorry I don't know what they are called I only know what they look like and how to use them. there are 3 switch settings on it...like if I want to see programs straight from dvd..or PVR/set top box or video via tv.
I hope that helps you.

Get someone to do it for you!!  on the other hand, if you live on the South Coast, don't bother.  You can't get digital tv well at all!!

It would really help if you could tell us what ports** you have on the back (or even under a flap on the front) of your TV.

** ports are the holes or sockets in the TV that accept plugs.

For example:



or



or



These are just a few examples I found on the net - your TV may not look anything like any of these, but depending on the age of the TV, will have at least some of these ports. As will the back of the STB and DVD player. You have to woprk out what ports you have on each device, then buy cables with the right plugs to connect them all up. Dick Smith or Tandy or Big W are good sources. But first look at what the TV has - that's the starting point.
