Default Very simple question

I have Sky+ on a single TV and would like to view a current or recorded program on a second TV. I only watch one TV at a time. I tried a UHF link some time ago but it was useless since the distance was too great, (I think).

What is the simplest way to achieve this?

I apologise if this a repeat question. If the answer is already on the forum could someone please direct me to the thread.

Thanks.

Keith

You should be able to simply use the RF2 output of the receiver to tune in with an analogue TV. It would have to be quite a long way before it stops working, in between the picture justs gets more and more speckled.
Just run a length of TV coax.

How far is it?

Thanks for your reply.

I guess the cable run is about 30 metres.

Presumably I can use one of those links to use the sky remote from the other room?

Yep that's what they're for and why the RF2 on Sky boxes has the option to power the link device.
