Sky multiroom TV troubles .

Posts: 1,525 Forumite
We have Sky in our bedroom on Multiroom and we had a TV in the conservatry which was plugged into it, both TV's are portable analogue TV's (purchased in the past couple of years).
The TV in the bedroom is still working fine with the Sky box but the one in the conservatry has gone kaput
and we cannot figure out why.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this or do we need to get a new TV for the conservatry?
If so can someone recommend a good size flat svreen for a 2nd TV to replace the old 14" portable please? Dont need it too large as its not the main TV and so not watched regularly.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for reply. Havent tried the bedroom TV in conservatry yet, didt consider it!
As for the kaput TV its just not tuning in now and has a snowy screen and wont pick up any channels. Yet its connected direct to the Sky box in the bedroom via an airial cable (not Scart Lead) which has worked until it went Kaput a few days ago.
TV in bedroom still works fine though!
Thanks.

Please report back with the result of the swap. Chances are you've got a bad cable connection. Describe exactly how the RF cable is connected. Is there an RF amplifier, magic eye, wall plate..?0

Hi it was the airial cable lead connecting the TV in the conservatry to the Sky multiroom box in the bedroom. Think it must have had a break inside it somewhere where the window kept closing on it.
We do have slight intemittent problems when we first turn the TV on but with a bit of a wiggle jiggle it fixes itself so far.
No we dont have a magic eye, it broke so we just point the remote throught the bedroom window (the conservatry was built across onto the back of the bungalow so the bedroom windows open into it!).
Saved ourselves a new TV for now
Thanks.

Any TV purchased in the last couple of years (assuming new) will not be analogue only-it will have a Freeview tuner as well as analogue, portable or not.No free lunch, and no free laptop
