How do I get sky to work on another tv?

Options
I live in a bungalow and my bedroom is next door to the lounge, I currently have sky plus in the lounge and have the aerial running from the lounge into the bedroom which supplies us with channels 1,2,3,4 & 5 in the bedroom.

I know some people who can watch sky on their tv in the bedroom (not multi room) but can only watch what is being watched on sky where the box (ie my lounge) does anyone know how I connect this up?

Thanks J

    Yes, you run a cable from the RF2 output of your Sky box to the TV in the other room.
    The RF2 output does have to be activated via the install menu.
    Press 'Services' 4, 01select, 4 (rf outlets) and switch on the RF2 power.

    Tune a spare channel on the remote TV to receive the signal.
    If you want to control the Sky box remotely then you will need a magic eye like this

  • Thanks for your help, its up and running now :) just one more query though - is there a way i can use the remote to control the sky via the tv in my bedroom or do i need to go into the lounge every time i want to change channel etc?

    Thanks
