two tellies from one box?

[DAVEYEFF]

can i run two tellies from one sky plus box, my missus likes to spend a lot of her time thru the day in the kitchen, and she listens to the radio channel from the telly in the living room, i have a small 15in flat screen spare, and i wondered if i could run that one from the sky box and into the kitchen, if so, what do i need. many thanks for any help.

Not sure if they have a RF out or not, but if they have use it for the TV in the kitchen and a scart for the TV in the room where the box is. I have a friends box set up with a magic eye in the bed room and have the non powered RF outlet to the kitchen, the box is connected to the TV via scart and a scart to the DVD.

the sky+ box actually has 2 rf out connections, i used a lead to connect the small telly from the rf out on the sky box, but all i got was the blue screen, dont know where am going wrong, i thought it may be the source, but i had both tellies on ex 1, but it was just the blue screen again. i tried the scart from the big telly just to see if it would work, and it did, no bother at all, but when i use the rf lead, all i get is the blue screen. any ideas anyone.

The RF out sends out a modulated RF carrier, similar to analogue terrestrial transmissions (PAL), so you have to tune your telly into it.

Not too familar with Sky boxes, but there should be an option to change the output channel, and possibly to turn the output ON/OFF.

It most certainly WON'T work with the TV set to Ext 1.

I normally use position 6 on the TV, mainly becuase in the 'olden days', I used 0 for the video recorder. The channel you set it to, depends on your area, I think I had mine on channel 68.

In the installer setup you can change the RF Channel, form services menu hit 0,1,select on the remote. You can turn the sky eye power on and off, but I'm pretty sure a sky box will always output RF
