    What do you think the Tri-link is going to do for you?

    Hi my tv system is wired on a loop system, which means the signal comes from satelite into my sky box, and the sky box powers a unit in attic which activates all the other tv points in house. My problem is that if i replace my sky box with a AVIVA 250 combo box, this has no output. I was told that the TRI LINK will solve this for me.I also have SKY EYES and was told this will run these as well.

    Thanking You :)

    Yes, the Sky box has a UHF modulator & the output of this is available from the RF1 & RF2 sockets, with RF2 also providing power for the link equipment.

    As you say, the Ariva doesn't have this feature & yes, the Tri-link should sort things for you.

    There's only one Triax Tri-Link. There are other RF modulators available but I can't think of one that also handles the magic eyes etc.

    I'm assuming you're correctly connecting the aerial lead to the Walker box, you're correctly connecting the Walker box to the TVs concerned & selecting the correct source on the TV before carrying out a scan on the Walker box. Also assuming that your terrestrial aerial signal is routed via the Sky box RF input/outputs.

    If all the above is true, try removing the aerial feed from the Sky RF-in & just connect it directly to the Walker box. See what you get then.

    Hi sorry to hijack the thread but am trying work out something similar. i have just cancelled my sky subcription so am now looking for something as an alternative and am wondering - if but a saorview box and i connect the sky dish i already have in place to that box will i be able to get rte and the irish channels via the dish or do i need to have an aerial installed?

    You need an aerial. Saorview is a terrestrial service. Irish TV is encrypted on satellite (except Saorsat but that requires a special dish setup).
