Related Links: Sky Remotes and Magic Eyes To install your TV Link you will need to run a length of coaxial cable from the RF2 socket on the back of your the Satellite receiver directly to the TV you want to watch Sky on (or the RF2 will feed a Sky pass amp and you will run cable from the outputs of the amp). Plug the cable into one side of the Link and then plug the Link directly into the TV aerial socket. You will need to enter a ‘hidden’ engineers menu to activate the power to the magic eye. Follow these instructions, and do not worry if you do not see any change on the screen as you press the ‘0’ and ‘1’ • Press SERVICES • Press 4 for SYSTEM SETUP • Press 0 then 1 then SELECT - Do this sequence VERY QUICKLY • Press 4 for RF OUTLETS • Press down to RF OUTLET POWER SUPPLY and turn it to on. • Press down to SAVE NEW SETTINGS and Press SELECT to store the changes • Press BACKUP to go Back to your Sky channel Once you have done this, you will find that the little light on the TV Link will now be lit confirming that there is now power being sent from the receiver to the remote link. Once you have tuned your TV to the Sky channel you will find you can control your digibox functions from here using a Sky remote control (or Sky+ remote control if you have a Sky+ machine) Should you wish to use the Sky remote control to work your TV in this room (volume, mute, standby etc) you will have to program the remote to perform these functions - see "Programming your remote to control your TV functions" in your Sky receiver manual. Fitting Multiple TV Links: Should you wish to fit more than one TV Link and be able to watch Sky in many rooms around your house, a distribution amplifier, with DC, or Sky, Pass, is required. These are available in 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 way versions, see our range of Distribution Amplifiers. Faults: Most faults are caused by badly fitted connectors and short circuits. This causes the problems as power does not reach the link along the Coaxial cable. If there is no LED on the link, then there is either a short on the cable or the link is faulty. Try plugging the link directly in the RF2 socket of your receiver. If it lights up there but not on the end of the cable you have run then the fault must lie in the connectors or cable. If the link LED is on, but you cannot control the receiver, use a short length of cable from the RF2 socket on your receiver and try the TV Link functions from there, if it doesn't work by doing this then the TV Link could be at fault.
