Sky TV Link

[trev1978]

Hi Guys!!

I am using the RF2 output from the back of my sky box to supply two additional tv's which i have fitted with magic eyes to control the sky HD box. The RF2 supply is conected to a proper TVLink splitter (TI 120) and from this the two additional tv's are supplied. Recently i have noticed 'ghosting' on the analogue channels on the secondary TV's. The analogue picture on the main TV is fine (from RF1 supply).

Tonight i tried connecting the secondary tv's each in turn to the RF2 outlet directly (by-passing the tvlink). By doing this the picture on the secondary tv's are fine. As the TV link boosts the signal it must be picking up a weak signal which is causing the 'ghosting'.

Can anyone suggest a solution or an alternative way which i could supply the secondary tv's. For instance would it be ok to use a bog standard splitter? Would the magic eyes still work?

Thanks in advance

You could change the RF channel the Sky receiver transmits on. Do this by trial and error or find out what channels your terrestrial stations transmit on. You could start by moving the RF channel up or down one channel number and then retuning your TVs. Don't forget to memorise any setting changes on your receiver.
