If you don’t want to use an aerial extension kit, you will need to use a suitable length of co-ax aerial cable, a bag of cleats to nail the aerial cable to your skirting board and a co-ax aerial plug for each end.

With Sky Multiroom, you will have a separate Sky box for each room. Each box will be cabled to your satellite dish. You won’t need a second dish – it’s possible to have up to eight boxes running from each dish (the dish has to be fitted with an Octo LNB. Sky+ and Sky+HD boxes need two feeds from the dish, which means that one dish can’t support more than four Sky+ boxes, or eight standard Sky boxes. More on LNBs.

You can buy extension kits in different lengths at Maplin and Argos. See below for an example of an extension kit.

I’m keen to avoid the ‘Sky’ solution of mini boxes as I have wall mounted TVs and keen to avoid the additional monthly premium. A UHF channel that is not already occupied by a Freeview transmission or other signal (including interference). If you don't understand this, it's time to do some research because it's a really important concept, which is critical to success. Setting your Sky RF output channel to a UHF channel number that is occupied by a Freeview transmission will usually result in "snowy" or "grainy" Sky pictures and missing terrestrial Freeview channels. To use a feed from the Sky RF2 output, your TV will need an analogue tuner, not a digital tuner. Many digital-ready TV sets also have an analogue tuner as well. If yours doesn’t, you could consider using a wireless AV sender instead of a TV Link. Though sky eyes are very handy, they are also extremely sensitive and prone to stop working for a range of reasons Upside: With this option, you won’t need to get an extra set-top box, or get an extra subscription to Sky.Downside:A Sky box can only display one thing at a time. You will only be able to watch whatever the main Sky box is showing (i.e. you can’t watch one Sky channel in one room, and a different Sky channel in another). As all TV sets radiate interference, which might interfere with the operation of the SkyLink, you may need to position the device away from the TV and any other equipment that might interfere. In the case of some large screen TV sets, a distance of up to three metres may be required. Please bear this in mind if your SkyLink does not work reliably or if you see or hear interference.

On Sky handset access the hidden installer menu by pressing. 'Services', 0,0,1 'Select'. You will then need to find the RF output power and switch this to on. With the connection in place, the last step is to tune the second TV into the output of the Sky box. By default, your Sky box should be broadcasting on Channel 68, so tune a spare preset on your telly to that channel, and you should be in business. Your Sky Magic Eye should now have it’s red light illuminated, indicating it is receiving power from the Sky digibox and should be working. If you see intererference or a grainy Sky picture on your secondary TV, you have chosen a UHF channel number that is already in use. Return to the secret Installer menu and try a different number. Tune your secondary TV set to the same UHF number (or find it by autoscanning in the TV analogue menu). Note that some TV sets can not tune to 69.Yes. You have two options – use a Sky TV Link (connected via a co-ax cable between the TV and Sky box), or get a wireless remote control extender. We have 2 blue tooth remotes ( although I’m aware only one can be synced to box) so 1 which works for the closest tv to the comms cupboard. I’m looking to get an infrared remote for the tv in the other room but the issue I have is what’s the best way to get the infrared remote working with sky q which is 20 metres away and behind several walls? Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Iceland, Malta, Slovenia, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Finland etc.. Since the "eye" itself can't be screened, move it well away from the TV set and other sources of interference if you have a problem. To minimise problems with interference - especially close to the TV and other equipment - you should use only double-screened cable. An ultra-thin white double-screened cable is available for use where you need extra flexibility and lower visual impact.

Many People will already have a magic eye system installed from the previous Digibox, which had an RF1 and RF2 output. The IO-LINK module has no RF1 output and this causes a problem if you want to pass the Freeview aerial signal to the main TV. In addition, it provides only enough power for ONE tvLINK "magic eye" and this causes a problem if you need to feed, for example, a SkyLink amplified splitter.

How To Watch Sky Q In Multiple Rooms & TV’s

If you have no Sky TV picture on your second TV, then you may have to perform a channel scan on the TV. You will have to make sure your TV is tuned to the RF Channel frequency that was in the RF outlets screen. Otherwise you will get no picture on your TV. Access the ‘hidden / secret’ Sky Installers setup menu. This is done by pressing the following buttons: Can be used in conjunction with link amplifiers and certain distribution amplifiers to work a number of sky magic eyes off a single Sky box
