Sky Eye RF Connection?

    Hi guys,

    I just had my Sky+ box swapped out for a new one as the hard drive was making loud clicking noises.
    However I have just checked upstairs and it looks like the technician fella did not set up the Sky Eye properly again.
    The reception is very fuzzy upstairs.
    Now the thing is I checked the connections at the back of the Sky+ box and the lead going upstairs is actually connected to "Aerial In"
    Now when I take the conenction out of "Aerial In" and push it against FR OUT-1 the reception upstairs is fine, the thing is the connection on my lead does not fit RF OUT -1, its fits "Aerial In" no problem.
    Anyone know what type of connection I need on the lead to fit the RF OUT-1 or RF OUT-2?
    Thanks in advance.

    P.S. I have enabled RF output via:

    To activate the supply from the digibox first press services, then system setup, then press 0,1 and select. You should now be in "Installer setup". press "RF Outlets" and set the "second outlet power supply" to on. Make sure then tv link is connected before you do this. The red light on the tv link should now be lit. In the second room simply point the remote at the tv link and you should be able to change channels etc.

    Buy the opposite fitting and plug into RF2. Maplin usually sell them.

    Aye, you need a "barrel" or Back to back joiner.
    The one you had probably went with the box the sky guy took away.

    BTW Make sure you plug the cable into the RF2 socket or else the Eye won't work
