Quick Question - Sky into my Aerial

dubmick

I am trying to figure how to watch whatever is on sky in the other rooms around the house. I have a small aerial box with what seems t be one input (the aerial) and two outputs. Can anyone tell me how I tune sky into my aerial?

Thanks for your help,

Mick

Basically, your aerial terrestrial signal cable is put into the RF Input on back of Digibox. RF1 Output goes to the TV beside it, and RF2 is fed to the distribution point (usually in an attic), where it then feeds the rooms. If you want to control Sky from other rooms, you'll need a TVLink compatible distribution amp, which allows use of TVLinks (the small eyes for changing channels). Alternatively, just buy an IR Remote Extender unit if you don't want to change distribution unit.

cheers byte, I don' mind not being able to change the channel. Just want to be able to watch Soccer AM in bed on Saturday morning!

So do I need to get anything extra...ie basically do I have everything I need to do this?

Aye, ya can't beat Soccer AM on a Saturday morning! SOmething I missed when I had cancelled Sky Sports package.

As long as you have a coaxial lead going from your Sky box (RF2) upstairs to your distribution point, you should be OK.
