2. Test the TV Link / Cabling

Using your Sky Remote Control
Switch the Sky+ HD to standby by pressing the Standby button in the top right hand corner
Disconnect the Sky+ HD from the mains electrical supply and any other connected devices (i.e. Television, DVD, Sound Systems)
Ensure that there are no lights on the front panel of your Sky+HD box
Carefully disconnect your TV Link from the cable connected to your secondary television
From the back of your Sky+HD box carefully remove the cable from the RF Out 2 and directly connect your TV Link into the RF Out connection
Reconnect your Sky+HD box and associated equipment to the electrical supply
The amber/red standby light will appear on the front panel of your box. To allow the box to fully reload the box should remain in standby mode for 2 minutes prior to powering up
Press the Sky button, the Green light will display on the front panel of your box
If the red light appears on the TV Link then a replacement coaxial cable will be required to resolve the fault. If no red light appears on the TV Link when directly connected to the RF Outlet then the TV Link itself will require to be replaced.

Is you're magic eye still lined up properly on the main sky box?

We didn't get on with ours, £30 for some wiring done by a local arial engineer and a 2nd hand old style sky box (free) and we were sorted, for the free channels anyway!

[Mary]

Thanks Sandra for all your help but id be lost doing that lot, im gonna have to wait until somebody comes that knows how to do it...........thanks again much appreciated I need to try and forget about it now as its really done my bloomin head in today

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

[Mary]

Would be great if they worked well, ours never really did

No magic eye on main sky though, just the one in the bedroom

[Mary]

aw.......that was a shame

Mary do you have an iPad? My magic eye stopped working so I just control the sky box through the sky+ app on the iPad. I should get round to sorting the magic eye but this works at the moment.

Oh my lordy lordy, I think the problem from what im reading is this rf thinghy, but I cant find where I check that, at the moment I cannot use the sky remote so it has to be something that I need to change on the t.v remote....I would think lol

You may need to use the remote for the TV in the bedroom, not the sky remote, sometimes the sky one isn't recognised by the secondary tv, it needs to be tuned to it.

[Phoenix .]

Well I didn't get mine sorted either, went through all the 1st step Sandra,changed the RV but the magic eye still not lit up, perhaps need a new one, we did have electricity cut off to have some work done, perhaps that interfered with the magic eye.?

Not even going to attempt part 2, leave that to the experts.That link was worth bookmarking for future ref though, thanks for that.

[Mary]

I dont have an ipad.

I have three sky remotes and ive tried them all, none of them will work on the one in the bedroom.

Phoenix, they are a pain when then dont work propper but are great when they do.

Thanks for trying everybody

[dickyg]

How about a smartphone you can download the app onto? Works the same in principle.

[Mary]

Aw, thanks for trying to help Dicky, I dont have a smartphone either, sounds like Im really stinghy and wont buy owt lol..The truth is technology is going far to fast for my liking and I cant and dont want to learn to keep up with it, I do have a cheapy mobile for emergencies but most of the time I forget to take that out with me lol Half the stuff that you can buy now, I wouldnt know what to do with it if I had it lol so its lost on me.....Must be getting old
