Digital Sender Problems

[SLF1976]

Personally I dont rate them at all. a few years back a tried all the different versions and took them all back.... interference made the picture very poor.

If you can, put a run of coax cable from the 2nd TV out on the sky box to the 2nd TV and by a Remote Eye to carry the remote commands.

If you really do want to use a AV sender, then something like this should do the job: Buy DigiSender X2. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

ty for your help reddwarfcrew. Mite just ring sky and ask em for another multiroom i got a spare skybox and wos wonderin how much it would cost me to get that one set up do you think it would be worth askin em?

another multiroom.... well that'd be another £10pm and about £60 for sky to come out and put another run of cable from the dish to the other box.

Obviously multiroom will mean you can watch different channels.

If you're not bothered about being able to watch different channels (and both the sky box and second tv are located by external walls), then it might be worth calling a local aerial installer to see how much they would charge to run a coax cable from the sky box to second tv (assuming you dont fancy doing it yourself)..... i'd guess about £50 (you'd have to get the magic eye yourself).

This setup, should, I thought mean I can get sky in both rooms with the receiver plugged in upstairs. However, I can get Sky downstairs but only with the sender unplugged, and sky upstairs with the sender plugged in. NEVER both.

The VCR socket is both input and output. It sounds as if the Sky Digibox is recognising the Videosender as an input device, due to a signal on pin 8. Try cutting pin 8 wire in the Scart lead which connects the Videosender to the VCR socket on the Digibox.
See picture here: http://www.satcure.com/accs/goldscart.htm

If that doesn't help, try setting "Scart control" to OFF in the Sky "Picture" menu, then select the Sky input manually, using the TV remote (or the "help" button on the Sky remote).

Let us know how you get on.
