Connecting new sky wireless box to another TV?

Hi all, my brother has a new sky wireless box and there's no rf2 output on it to connect his TV upstairs, he has the coax in place from his old box, can anyone tell me how he is supposed to do it?

Thanks in advance, Paul.

    OP Do you mean the new wifi enabled Sky + HD box?

    I which case it looks as if they no longer have any RF connections, so you can no longer use a TV link.
    I assume they have removed the RF modulator to make space for the internal wifi receiver.

    There would appear to be an I-O link which will need to be purchased to make the TV-Link work with a wifi box.

    Hi again, maybe I wasn't clear in my post. He has a new Sky+ wireless box (i think he calls it wireless because you can connect to a router with it), anyway with his old sky box he could watch sky in his bedroom using the rf out 2 connection on the back of the box but the new one has no rf out 2 connection on the back, I've explained to him what PENRHYN said above hopefully he can sort it, thanks again.
