yes rf1 and rf2 has gone completely but.. sky have provided a gadget at a cost that will plug in to an i/o port, its about 26 quid, that will perform like the old rf socket.

Thanks, I have an old sky system that has rf2 out going to 5 tvs around the house that worked great for the past two decades. I was thinking of rejoining and the salesman was on the phone the other day pushing me to take a new box and dish as it's 4yrs since I was last a sky customer yet my old box works fine.

Sky are calling me back tomorrow so I'll tell them I'm not keen on the new boxes lack of rf2 out

Adding the iO-LINK to the new box will give you the same functionality as the old box, as swoofer posts above, maybe they'll supply one during the install?

Triax do an IO Link with both RF1 and RF2 outputs, if you also require RF to go to the local TV set.
