    Re-tune the Sky channel on the TV to the channel number the Sky is transmitted on,usually between CH 60 & 65.
    Make sure the Sky channel on the HDD is tuned into the Sky channel as well.

    Remove the scart from HDD to TV and place in to Sky then view sky on AV1 you don't need both scart and hdmi between TV and recorder.
  • If by Sky feed you mean a coax cable from the Sky box in the other room, then you need to tune in an analogue channel on the TV to receive it. You will not find it on AV1 etc they are the scart xockets on the TV.
