Sky TV link not working with new digital TV
Hi,
I've just bought a new 19" Panasonic TV. I set it up in my bedroom upstairs carried out the tuning and it received all the digital channels with no problem. I also have connected a Sky TV link adapter to operate my sky box from upstairs and now I can't tune this in.
I tried tuning the analogue option on the TV but it went from channel 21 to 63 and didn't pick up my sky channel. My box is linked from downstairs via the RF2 socket which attaches into the link then into the TV.
The link still works fine on my old analogue TV (Channel 7 is still tuned fine, of course all the other channels have gone now)
Is there something obvious I'm missing or can I not now use the sky tv link equipment with the new digital tv's! That's a bit annoying if not, as does that mean the only way I could watch my sky on a new digital TV is to get sky multiroom costing me more money a month!
Any help would be great - thanks!!

Check what RF channel the box is outputting on, by default it's normally 68 or 69, then manually tune the tv into it.

Hmmmm. My new Samsung Digi telly picked up Sky OK on analogue channel 68 straight out of the box!
Can't imagine it's your telly but 21 to 63 doesn't seem right. As red says above, Sky default is 68 or 69. If your telly only goes to 63 then retune Sky RF2 to something within the telly's range!Geoff, York.

Thanks for the help guys! Just looked at my sky set up and can't seem to find where the RF2 set details are so I can check the channel number and maybe change it. Do you know where I can find this info?

It's OK, I've found the menu now, I'll have a go at retuning tomorrow, hopefully it will work now. Thanks again for your help, that's great!
