A remi can be bought from a decent electrical store, even Tesco's round the corner from me is selling them. All you have to do is run a coax cable from the second outlet at the back of the sky box to the other tv. Install the coax plug on both ends. Get a Remi, which is a small unit which plugs into the coax at the other tv end, and then the remi plugs in to the back of the tv. Plug the coax then into the second output, (RF2), of the sky box. Switch on the Sky box and press Services, (making sure that the tv nearest the sky box is on the sky channel so you can view what your doing), then press System Setup. In this menu press 01 Select, this should get you into the installers menu. Then press 4 to switch on RF2. On this menu go down to the RF2 it should say "off", press the right arrow button to change this to "on" then save changes. Go back to the main tv by pressing SKY on the top of the remote. Goto the second tv and the Remi should have the light on. If it has set up the second tv so you can view Sky and there you go, dead easy. BUT you can only view the same channel on both Tv's and not seperate channels. If you buy another sky remote, there about �20 from most places you can then have a remote next to both Tv's and not keep carrying the same remote around. Once you do this you can set up the new remote to the new tv, as in changing the tv channels but that is more complicated due to there being hundreds and hundreds of different makes and models. There is an explaination of how to change the new sky remote to work on the second tv but I cant remember the website but I found it using Google. Happy viewing

The answer from Disco Fever is correct but what Shahed is looking for is a unit that will enable the user to view and change to different channels on different set at the same time... Other than purchase anotehr Sky box plus installation ....

I get the small electronic eye from a wholesaler in Leicester, dead easy to fit just follow the instructions I put in the last posting and sorted. They are only around �20 if that. A Remi is just a reomte eye that changes the channel of the sky decoder in another room thru a coax between the 2 tv sets.
