Is a skylink required to view on an additional TV??

[Youngen]

Hi

I have just plumbed in a second TV to the RF2 output on my Skyplus receiver..

I have also ordered, but am waiting for a Sky link and remote control to arrive.

I hoped to be able to still view the sky channel on the second TV without the Skylink, but I have tried tuning to see if I can pick up the channel but to no avail???

Is it because I need the Skylink to read these channels or should it work??

I have tried turning on the 9V supply but this did nothing??

I would appreciate your help

Cheers Mark

You should be able to view the same channels from the rf2 without a link/amp

if you know what the RF channel is used in the sky box, then you just tune the 2nd tv to that ch. sky has a default of 68, the range is 21 to 69. What kind of tv is the 2nd one? Leave 9v switched off.

I have answered your duplicate of the above post.

It doesn't help to run the same post in two threads, it usually just confuses things.

Many thanks guys, now working

Picture quality is now 95% is there anything that will remove the faint lines left on the picture??

Sorry for the duplicate post, I did not spot the sub forum for Sky plus at first
I will go delete it

You could try moving the Sky Receiver setting up or down, and then re-tune your TV, it may be conflicting with a broadcast channel.

Changed the RF frequency and all is now working perfectly
