2nt tv probs with sky digibox

[my.taid]

i have read varoius threads, but am still having no luck. have got my old working sky digibox in the bedroom, works fine. but have tried to connect another tv from the spare bedroom to same digibox. no picture, sound, nothing. i have used the rf2 out socket to co-axial cable to the 'aerial' socket of the other tv. tried switching the rf outlet on, off again, etc. just can't get the spare tv to work. any help now appreciated. thanks

You need to tune the 2nd TV to the signal coming out of the digibox on whatever RF chanel it is using (check in the digibox menu for the RF channel setting).

thanks zax47, have found that the rf2 channel is on 68, but have no ide how to tune the 'spare' tv in to find that channel. have spent all morning trying to tune into various things and using the av channel. help......

I had to buy a special box tuned to ch.36 to run my 3 bedroom tvs on sky.

BTW Turning RF2 on/off in the menu is just enabling/disabling the 9V power available via that connection to power a "Magic Eye" for remote channel switching. Leave it OFF if there is no Magic Eye connected as it just adds 9V to the signal and will annoy the tuner in your 2nd TV.

AV channel is no use to you. You are connecting via RF so using the tuner in the 2nd TV. Tune it in just like you would for any other channel (BBC1 etc.) Channel 68 is right at the end of the UK tuning range, if that helps (22-68/70)

Sorry, keep forgetting stuff to check! Be sure to check both ends of your cable as well - if there is even 1 strand of the earth braid in contact with the main signal conductor then you will get no signal at all due to short circuit.
