How do I change the RF output channel on a Sky Digibox?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV Press the [SERVICES] button and then press [4] [0] [1] then [SELECT]
Then press [4] to go to the RF output menu.
You can now change the value so that it does not clash with an analogue TV channel or a Freeview multiplex.
HD and "new EPG" boxes
If you have a HD box, press [SERVICES] button and then press [0] [0] [1] then [SELECT]. Nothing is shown on the TV screen until you press the Select button.Then use the [RIGHT] arrow button on the remote until this screen is shown, and press SELECT to change the values:

I don't know if my first message was clear!! but the tele that I use in another room from the sky box (which has the eye box fitted to)I had to retune the tele cause of this change over. Before I used to get the sky on no.8 but now I press no 8 on the remote control it won't keep on it so now I can't get sky on the tele. Is it possible for you to tell me how I can reset it please.

Lesley: There is the possibility at switchover that "may" mean that you have to adjust the output of your Sky box, this being that a digital signal may have come on air on the same frequency you are using for your Sky box. This, as I say, is a possibility but you should go step by step.
If you have carried out an automatic tuning on the analogue side of the TV, the Sky box may have been put under number 1 if that is the only analogue signal to be found, as well it might. I would just leave it under analogue number 1.
Failing that, unplug the incoming aerial lead to the Sky box and then try again with tuning the TV. Then plug the aerial lead back into the Sky box. Then go back to the TV and see what the picture from the Sky box looks like. If it is snowy, then you know that there is a new digital signal coming down your aerial lead on the same frequency and you will have to change it using the instructions above.
Knowledge of your location (preferably by post code or nearby post code, such as a shop) will be helpful in working out a new channel to use, should you find that it is interfered with by a digital signal.
Obviously always ensure that the Sky box is powered on and not in standby so that it is putting out an analogue signal.

Hi. We have a tv upstairs of which the aerial comes down the wall to a booster box.
How can we connect sky which we have downstairs to the tv upstairs?
Thank you.

Gary a few things to check first there are two parts to coax inside solid core and out side brade the brade should not touch the inside that should be held back by the clamp in the plug. If your plug has a small screw remove it they can cause a short. Does the coax run direct from the sky box to the magic eye if it has an amplifier between is it a bypass amp if not the amp will have to be changed to one with a sky bypass one last thing is the power on from the receiver and is the coax in the rf2 hope this helps.

Gary one last thing to try put a slight kink in the center core to make sure you get a good conection. You might also check the coax have you put it under carpet if so make sure the carpet grippers havent gone into the coax .

Gary the only thing to do is re check all plugs, and then switch the power off to rf2 save it then switch it back on. This is what i would do at a customers house you could have something realy silly wrong, if you carnt get it to work you might have to call out someone and pay there call out charge if you do dont use a 0800 number or a local number that you think isnt right they are paid for numbers and they are not local.
