Sky Plus, 2nd TV?

Hi everyone, a friend has just acquired a Sky Plus box, we have set it up and it is working fine with 2 leads from the LNB. But he says his old Sky box used to allow him to plug a second TV into the RF out socket to watch TV in the bedroom. This does not work with the Sky Plus box. He does not have a TV aerial, just a satellite dish.
Any reason why the second TV doesn't work?

    The RF2 output is off by default, it needs to be switched on.

    This may work otherwise Google a bit further.
    1 Press the SERVICES button on your 'Digibox Remote Control'.(DRC)

    2 Press the NUMBER 4 button on your DRC. (System Set-up)

    3 Press the 0 then the 1 then the SELECT buttons (Installer menu)

    4 Press NUMBER 4 again. (RF Outlets)

    5 Press the DOWN ARROW button once. (second outlet power supply)

    6 Then press the SIDE ARROW button once. (turning power ON)

    7 Press the DOWN ARROW button once again.(save new settings)

    8 Then press the SELECT button.

    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Failing that,the 9v power supply on the box might be !!!!!!ed.
