Sky in other room
Hi Guys
Trying to get Sky in another room. Coex aerial cable from RF2 on the back of my Sky box to my 2nd TV .Tuned in 2nd TV the picture on 25% of the channels are not too bad but the picture on the other 75% of the channels are dreadful. I have not turned on the RF2 outlet supply. Should this be turned on? The Coex aerial cable from my Sky box to my 2nd TV is not the best in the world its just a cheap one. Should I buy a good quality Coex aerial cable? I am not buying a Sky TV link till I get a decent picture on all of my channels. Any help would be most grateful
Cheers
JONPON

Re: Sky in other room
The RF2 power is for a "magic eye" only.
Your description "picture is dreadful" tells us nothing. Is it grainy, covered in horizontal/vertical lines, full of coloured squares?
Disconnect TV aerial from Sky Digibox. If picture improves, this means you have set RF outlet to the wrong UHF channel number. Set it in the "secret" Installer Setup Menu.
Use double-screened coaxial cable (e.g. WF100) for best results and freedom from interference. It's essential for a "magic eye".

Recheck connections and make sure there are no shorts for starters and make sure its set on the right RF channel.
