TiVo Setup

I'm trying to get our TiVo setup so that we can successfully switch between TiVo, the VCR, the DVD player, and be able to watch TV on one channel while TiVo-ing another. I've made a diagram of my proposed setup:

If anyone out there has experience with this stuff, I'd love some input on whether this setup will work as hoped.

Update: based on some feedback, I've changed my layout to send everything but the DVD through the VCR. Thoughts?
