Product Description

Step 1. Install a new cable from RF2 on the back of the SKY Digibox and take directly to the second TV. Then attach the TV link to the second TV (into the rear TV Aerial input)and to the cable that has been run from the RF2. (if distribution is required to more than one TV a SKY/Gobal 2 , 4, or 7 way amplifier unit will be required).

Originally I had one of them wireless transmitters which worked brill to my bedroom but since moving that received really bad interference from several wireless hot spots in the area and changing the wireless channels didn't seem to do anything to sort it.
So bought one of these. Works an absolute treat and the IR receiver on them are fantastic picks up the remote almost any angle and place in the room!
Easy to install and only requires the RF2 output on the Sky box to be powered on in the services menu.

The instructions that came with the tvLINK weren't that helpful, so when I plugged it in and it didn't work, I was on my own!
First thing you need to do on your Sky box (in my case, a Sky+ HD box) is to set up the 9V power from the 2nd RF output. (From memory) To do this:
Press Services on the Sky remote
On the old menu, type: 4, 0, 1 and press Select | On the new menu, type 0, 0, 1 and press Select
Go to the RF settings, and turn on RF power
The next problem I ran into is that I have many TVs running through an aerial booster/splitter, mine isn't designed to let the tvLINK signal back to the box. So I had to run the splitter from RF1, and the tvLINK (and the TV it's connected to) to RF2.
With this configuration, the tvLINK works perfectly, and I highly recommend it for anyone who wouldn't benefit from Sky's multi-room package!

Using this neat and very well priced gizmo I can now (to the annoyance of my partner) change Sky HD channels from a different room. My full setup allowed for a new coax cable (CT100) to be run from the Sky HD box to the second TV which has proved flawless in operation. It is not routed through any other equipment and doesn't have to be plugged into the second TV aerial output (main picture and sound is through a seperate HD lead) - thus freeing this outlet up for the terrestial aerial input. You do have to follow the instruction as you must enable the output on the Sky box but in doing so product performed straight away.
