Are you tired of switching between different devices to watch your favorite shows and movies? Well, there is a solution to that - setting up the TV link on your Sky HD box. With this feature, you can connect multiple televisions to one Sky box and enjoy the same content from any room in your house. In this article, we will guide you through the steps of setting up the TV link on your Sky HD box.
Step 1: Check your equipment
Before getting started, make sure you have the necessary equipment. You will need a coaxial cable, a TV link amplifier, and a remote control extender kit. The TV link amplifier enhances the signal from the Sky box so that it can be received by other televisions in your home.
Step 2: Install the TV link amplifier
The first step is to install the TV link amplifier. Disconnect the Sky box from the mains, and then locate the RF2 output on the back of the Sky box. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to this output, and the other end to the input on the TV link amplifier. Finally, plug the TV link amplifier into the mains.
Step 3: Set up the remote control extender
Next, you need to set up the remote control extender. This will allow you to control the Sky box from other rooms in your home. First, plug the receiver unit of the remote control extender into a power socket near the Sky box. Then, connect the receiver unit to the TV link amplifier using the supplied cable. Finally, plug the transmitter unit into a power socket near the television you want to control, and connect it to the television using an HDMI cable.
Step 4: Configure the Sky box
Now that you have all the equipment set up, you need to configure the Sky box to use the TV link. Press the Services button on your Sky remote, and then navigate to System Setup. Select the option for "Control TV Distribution", and then select the option for "Sky TV Link". Finally, select "Save New Settings".
Step 5: Connect the additional television
The final step is to connect the additional television to the Sky box. Use a coaxial cable to connect the TV link amplifier to the aerial input on the additional television. Finally, tune the television to a freeview channel, and you should see the Sky content.
Conclusion
Thats it - youre all set up with the TV link on your Sky HD box. Now you can enjoy your favorite shows and movies from any room in your home. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the signal strength on the TV link amplifier if you experience any issues. With a little bit of setup, you can enjoy the full benefits of your Sky HD box. |
