Martin N: Yes, just connect it up using a standard aerial cable. The Magic Eye is only required if you want to change channels using the Sky remote.

I have followed the instructions in the manual and using your information turned the RF power supply on. I just cant get the secong tv to tune into channel 68. Do you know of any reasons why this isn't working?

Simon Alcock: If you are intending feeding your Sky boxes analogue RF1 output to a second analogue TV then the RF power should normally be left set to OFF as its not necessary.

It should also be remembered that if you are using a dual standard TV (analogue / Freeview) as the second set it must be tuned whilst its set for analogue tuning or nothing will be received.

I had a sky + box that fed my tv in lounge and a coaxial going to a booster that fed another 3 tvs in bedrooms.I upgraded today to a sky+ HD box, I wired everything back up as before , but now only one of the other tvs will work [ they are all old analogue tvs ] Ive tried changing all the coaxial cables round but no joy.I also set the HD box to rf power on.
Any help please.

martin: If you use a Magic Eye, it must be connected as a single device to the RF2 output, if you connect up anything else to RF2 the Magic Eye will not function.

If you want another RF connection, use the RF1 output for it.
