Help me with my sky & TV link!

Hi all, Ive got a sky box in my room and is linked to another room with a magic eye. The problem is my TV where the box is is colour but the one where the magic eye is is in black and white? It was working in colour last night but today its not?

Maybe my kids messed with it i dont know. Anyway the TV's colour is working as the TV menu and all that is in colour. Ive got the 9v red light working and it changes channels and everything.

What you think could be the problem? The connections are all clean.

Please help!

Sam

Re: Help me with my sky & TV link!

you mightve changed your sky box output to PAL which your bedroom TV might not support, have a look under picture settings on your sky box.
