tv link/loftbox problems getting tv distribution on 2nd tv

    hi all

    having some problems getting loftbox/tv link to work

    i have bought 3rd tv for kitchen and want to get tv distribution working finally
    the second tv is connected directly to a freeview box and will try include this in distribution later

    anyways, i have sky plus box downstairs which i want to get on tv in kitchen
    and i cant get it working properly i had it working briefly yesterday when i switched some cables around but then lost signal and cant figure out what i done

    even though i had the sky plus box working on tv it would not work with tv link magic eye

    i have loftbox in attic with 2 loftbox expanders, the loftbox getting one lnb feed and each loftbox expander getting another lnb feed,

    The MSWP in living room where sky plus box is located is then connected via the wallplate to the return feed back to loftbox . the diplexer located here takes the return feed

    where i am lost is the RF2/RF1aerial connections i played around with them today and have the sky plus box tuned into main tv analogue and working with magic eye but still no picture on second tv.

    everytime i do this i end up losing sat signal on sky plus box which requires a lot of poering down and cable changing to get back up at the moment ssignal bar is at pathetic 30% on main sat feed whilst return feed connected directly to wall plate is at 80% which means getting all stations is not easy on sky box, they generally come back when i start using recorder

    can anybody tell me exactly which cables should go where to get the rf working properly with magic eye tv link on second tv. i dont have a vcr just tv and sky plus box
