Sky on 2nd TV via RF2

Hello,

Had Sky install at the weekend - I'm trying to get a 2nd TV connected via the RF2 outlet on the back of the Sky box.

The picture is c**p! I've tried tuning the main TV to a RF channel as well and the picture is the same. Any ideas?

How long were the cables for each test?

Re: Sky on 2nd TV via RF2

Well main TV (RF1) has about 3 meters of RF going between Sky > DVR > TV.

The 2nd TV (upstairs) RF2 goes into the wall socket and runs through the house - not sure how much cable there is - probabaly a good 15 meters, BUT the picture is exactly the same on both main and 2nd TV - it's like it hasn't been tuned in. I've ried tuning it but the pic of crap on both TV's.

Forgot to say - BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4 and C5 are all ok via RF on both main TV and 2nd TV - it's just the Sky Channel thats all snowy...

Maybe there's interference with something else on that UHF channel. You can try changing it using the instructions here.
