Can anyone help re changing tv (wires!)

I have just got a new tv and have transferred most of the wries from the dvd/vcr/sky etc. However, one small problem. I cannot get normal tv, only sky.

There is the aerial lead that comes from the wall into the sky box. Then there is a lead from the sky box to the tv. Is this the right way round?

    Managed to sort it out, the aerial lead from the wall has gone straight into the tv. And it works fine, however next problem is I can't get sky upstairs! (It used to work so that we could get sky in all the rooms but from the sky box downstairs if that makes sense, only got the one box!

    To get Sky on your other TVs, the aerial feed to them must be connected to the RF2 socket on your Sky box.
    The aerial feed from your rooftop aerial goes to the RF input on the box, the main TV aerial lead should be connected to the RF1 output.



    For the RF2 output to work it needs to be enabled from the Installers menu,

    Press 'Services' 4, 01select, 4 (rf outlets) and switch on the RF2 power
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
