Ian: Try the following.

Make sure that you have the coax to the other room connected into the boxes RF2 outlet and "not" RF1.

(1) Press : Services then 4 (picture highlighted)

(2) Press : 0 - 0 - 1 - Select (this will take you into the installers menu)

(3) Select : 4 - then press on RF outlets.

(4) Finally : Ensure that RF2 power is switched on.

(By the way, when you press 0 - 0 -1 - Select, do it in continuous fashion)

If the Sky link light is still off, try connecting it straight into the Sky boxes RF2 outlet.

Clare: You will ned an aerial - the BT box is basically a Humax PVR, which is Freeview. Easiest thing is to swap out your Sky box for a Freesat PVR - the Humax is basically the goto box. The current model is the 1000S, has a 1 gb hard drive, and costs about £209. It also gets you Freetime, which is catchup TV. You can buy a wireless dongle for it if you need it, but the 1010S (the white one) is around thirty quid more and has the wifi bult in.

If you want BT Sports, you'll need their box, or use their app or via PC.

Sudden weak RF signal output from Sky HD box (Amstrad). The Sky signal is fine and so is the Freeview signal but we have extended the Sky output to other rooms using the RF output. It has benn fine for a number of years but suddenly the RF output is poor. We have had 4G recently turned on but as our Freeveiw is fine we're mystified. I have tried a 4G filter on the RF input on the Sky box with which has given a tiny improvement on one (closest) of the four addition TVs the RF output feeds. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Brian PorterIt is possible that the RF output from your Sky box is set to be within the band used for 4G. Can you check what the RF channel setting is and let us know please? Use the instructions at the top of this page to guide you. Any channel number from 60 upwards could have problems with 4G interference.

Brian Porter : The best way to test if 4G is responsible for your problem is simply by temporarily removing the aerial from your sky boxes "aerial input" socket.

If the problem vanishes, then it could be that either 4G is responsible, or that your Sky boxes RF modulator is set on a channel used by a Freeview transmitter, unable to advise on the best channel to use as you haven't provided your location, this preferably being in the form of a post code or one from nearby, i.e: a shop / post office.

Thank you MikeP & JB38 for your responses. My location is Crawley Down, (nr East Grinstead) West Sussex. However, I (we) cannot get to the settings for the RF channel output. It's an Amstarad (HD) model number R010.070.91.00P / version 4F3005. Also, disconnecting the RF aerial as suggested solves the problem! So, hopefully all we need do is to change the RF output channel - so help there please. Many thanks to both of you.

j .b.smith:

It would appear that you are using the RF Out connection from your Sky box rather than any SCART or HDMI connection. In which case there is no legal requirement for any particular channel to be used, it normally being chosen to avoid causing or receiving signals from other sources and hence causing or suffering interference. I very much doubt Sky would have officially said it was illegal to use ch28 for your RF output, the RF modulator, where fitted, is capable of being tuned to any UHF channel from 21 to 68 (though I am uncertain whether that applies to the 'add-on' RF boxes needed by many Sky HD boxes to provide an RF output). It is more likely that a 'call centre' operative has misunderstood the issue.

4G signals are transmitted currently in the range ch60 to 68, so if your RF output had been set close to anything in that range you will have experienced some interference from such if they are in reasonable proximity to your location. By adjusting the RF output channel to one well outside that range will have helped alleviate the problem. But you also need to avoid the channels used by any Freeview transmitter in your area, a list for each transmitter is provided elsewhere on this website. Else you can put you post code into this site and then see the details of the recommended transmitter for your area.

Hi, I'm trying to use the RF OUT so that I can view my sky upstairs. I'm using a aerial power booster which gives me full power for freeview, however, the analog is picking up the channel but has interference, I have switched on the RF out power. Could it be the channel setting which is on 68 which is the problem? Is so what channel should it be on? I live in rainham, essex

Sunny: If there any mobile phone masts in your area? you might possibly be picking up interference from 4G transmissions, and so nowadays its best keeping away from channels in this range. I would try setting the Sky boxes RF output channel on 38, as this channel is not used by any Freeview transmitters within your reception area.

However on the subject of the aerial booster, and especially "if" of the higher powered variety, unfortunately these devices are capable of causing a high level of noise (grain) on the analogue based picture, the easy way to tell if this applies in your case or not being by switching off the booster whilst viewing some "Sky" programme on the upstairs TV.

Hi All,

What is the difference between the 2 RF outputs on the back of my SKY+ HD box? My house is wired with a Loft Box, and I have the 2 dish cables coming in to the lounge and in to the SKY box, then a cable going up to the Loft Box. I have tried this in RF1 and RF2 and don't really notice any difference.

I would say my picture quality in the other rooms fed by the Loft Box are OK - probably standard def quality.

When I put the cable in one of the other rooms through a Freeview Box I reckon I get a better picture on nonHD channels using that than I do coming from the Sky box. If I connect the Freeview coax output 'back' to the TV Aerial Input for the Sky TV - then the Sky picture is horrendously grainy. Sound about right??

I'm currently using RF Channel 41 - in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

Thanks!!

Gary: The only difference between RF1 and RF2 outputs on a Sky box is that the latter output offers a switchable 9 volts power on/off facility, the purpose of being to enable the channel being viewed on the Sky box in a second location to be changed via a device called a "magic eye" installed in said location, as apart from that both outputs are identical.

As far as your grainy picture is concerned, go into the boxes set up menu and change the RF output channel you are using to 38, not forgetting to retune the TV used in the other location to match the change, as channel 41 is the Mux channel used by Londonderry's Freeview HD transmitter, this being the most likely reason for the problem with the "analogue" picture.

Maria corcoran : No quite sure as to exactly what you are meaning, but try connecting your magic eye directly into your Sky boxes RF2 output socket, if the red light fails to illuminate then make sure that RF2's power is switched on as per instructions shown at the top of this page.

If though the magic eye does illuminate when connected directly into the RF2 output socket, then your problem has to be caused by the coax from said socket passing through some device that is killing the DC voltage that operates the magic eye, anything in line (if not of a continuous nature) having to be "Sky magic eye compatible".

john: What you have mentioned did cross my mind after having posted my reply, however it doesn't really make any difference to the situation, as the RF output signal from the DVR is virtually the same as that from a Sky boxes RF1/2 output sockets, i.e: a modulated AM signal.

By the way, the two channels mentioned were chosen after having checked the Mux channel numbers used by the three Freeview stations indicated as being receivable at your location, namely : Divis - Carnmoney Hill and Black Mountain.

However, should by any chance you still get interference using either 36 or 37, if you have a normal aerial looping through the DVR? (as done with Sky boxes) see if the situation clears up if you remove it.

john : A snowy picture on an analogue TV, or at least a Freeview TV set on analogue rather than DVB, is always a sign of a weak signal, are you sure that the jumper lead connecting the DVR to the TV isn't faulty?.

On the subject of connections, what do you mean by "Sky via a booster"?, maybe you could clarify as to what method you are using to connect the RF outputs from both the Sky box and CCTV camera into the TV? or alternatively, is the Sky box coupled into the TV via either a scart or HDMI lead, and the RF output from the CCTV camera is being fed directly into the TV's aerial socket?

The latter method giving the choice of viewing Sky on the TV by using the "input select" button on the TV's remote control, whereas the CCTV camera can be viewed by setting the TV on analogue, then tuning same to pick up the RF output from the CCTV camera, remembering to store the channel its received on.

If though you are using the RF outputs from both the Sky box and CCTV camera, make sure they are not set on the same channel, as one will interfere with the other if both switched on at the same time.

Maybe you could indicate the model of CCTV camera in question.

Both the sky and cctv are into a distribution amp and go around the house to different rooms, I can get sky with a good picture on channel 68 but the cctv isn't. It's a securicam dvr with output put through a rf modulator would another amp at the tv make the pic any better. The picture is good on channel 1 but can only tune into it on the small flat screen in the kitchen, all the others start at ch 21.

john: The channel 1 you refer to has to represent an actual frequency, the question being, exactly what the frequency is? as the modulator is the reason for your problem. To help further clarify the situation, maybe you could indicate the brand model of the TV used in the kitchen, plus also the brand / model number of the modulator being used, these required in order to check the specs of both devices.

By the way, introducing an additional amplifier into the system is liable to make the situation worse.

Brian ,
Is it possible to split the two leads from my Sky dish supplying my Sky HD+ box and use them individually
to support two HD+ boxes, each set up for single cable supply. One box I would use for my Sky
subscription
and the other as a Freesat box in an other room , if this is possible would I need to turn off the LNB POWER supply on the secondary box .
I know this sounds like a cockeyed way of going about things but to get to the dish to add extra cables
would be a nightmare .
Yours with fingers crossed. Phil.

Phillip Ellis : Yes, if you are indeed meaning to use them individually. Although I suppose that you are aware of the limitations imposed on recording when using a single supply cable? insomuch that you cannot view a different channel to the one being recorded unless they are both on the same transponder frequency, although if you tried this whilst recording a message warning of "not possible" or similar would appear on the screen.

Leave the LNB power on, as channel changing in a Satellite box (Sky or Freesat) involves sending instructions to the LNB port being used in the form of a voltage (Hi/Low) for polarity switching, and a tone (On/Off) for band changing, needless to say, each of the boxes sending a different combination of both voltage and tone to the LNB port being used dependant on the programme channel being viewed, as although the LNB has two ports, they operate individually.

1:50 PM

Phillip Ellis:

You cannot split satellite signal feeds so that two Sky/Freesat boxes get full control over what is received. Each of the coaxial feeds not only carries the signal down from the LNB but also carries the supply power up as well as the control signals. These are sourced individually from the Sky/Freesat box for each of the two downleads normally used. There are satellite signal splitters available but they only allow one of the Sky/Freesat boxes to control the individual LNB. That means that one box sets the LNB for what polarity and what band it receives. Because of that, the second box has no control and has to receive the same as the 'main' box! Also because of that recording on both boxes can be a nightmare with lost programmes or parts thereof!

The only successful way to have two, or more, boxes running off the same LNB assembly is to have a quad (to feed two boxes) or an octal (to feed up to 4 boxes) LNB with individual cables brought down to the several box locations. If your existing dish is giving good reception then this should continue as long as any change to the LNB is done correctly (the skew angles are important).

I'm afraid it has to be a case of 'biting the bullet' and having the extra cables laid in and a possible change of LNB at the same time. Note that adding a second dish of any size onto the same building would require planning permission, which is not always granted.

Although you had actually mentioned "split", which as MikeP has correctly said cannot be done, my reply was purely based on the assumption that you intended to "separate" the Sky+box cables from each other, using each as an individual Sky+box feed, this being why you had mentioned setting the Sky boxes for single input use.

However, on having re read your posting, I now feel that my assumption on your intentions were incorrect, and as such nullifies the content of my reply, therefore please disregard that said.

I have installed a amplifier via a IO link to give me controllable Sky in a further 4 rooms plus my original TV and although all TVs work plus magic eyes the picture is poor especially on the furthest TV.
Is there any way to boost to a better picture or is it simply a matter of changing RF channel which at the moment is 68 to eliminate any interference.

Wendy Waugh:

Looking at the currently used channels in your area and those predicted for use in the foreseeable future, I would suggest trying setting your Sky box' RF output to channel 34 and then tuning your TV to that (it would avoid any potential interference with other signals). However, it would be better to use an HDMI lead, if your TV and Sky box have that faciltity. If they dont, then could you use a SCART lead, the one that uses 21 pins to feed the signals. That way, you don't need to use the RF output and would get a better quality of picture and sound. If you can use the HDMI lead, then you could even watch the HD versions if your TV set is capable of showing them. A Freeview HD equiped TV set would be able to show them - the HD images are substantially clearer than SD.

Wendy:

Glad you got some service. However, Channel 68 is very likely to suffer from interference later as it is in the range used now and in the future for 4G and maybe 5G mobile serices, so it is best to avoid anything above channel 60. It is also wise to avoid any of the channels used by transmitters whose signals may reach your location. That is why I suggested using channel 34 as none of the transmitters in your area use that channel.

As I stated, it is better to use an HDMI lead if at all possible, else use a SCART lead if the TV and Sky box do not have HDMI sockets.

Hello, I have a sky box in lounge with a feed out of RF2 to the attic, then a dc power pass splitter sending signal to 4 other tv's with magic eyes attached to each. They have been working fine for a year or so but now i cant turn over any of the other tvs, yet the lights are on the magic eyes. Any ideas of what has gone rong
