Ive connected a 2nd tv to my SKY digibox but the guy in the shop i bought my coaxial cable from said i needed to access the "secret" installation menu and turn ON the RF POWER SUPPLY.

Its working without doing this but is there any benefits in turning it on anyway?

Thanx jason, although i know how to access the "secret" menu and turn ON the RF POWER SUPPLY. I just wanted to know why i need to as im gettin the sky picture on the 2nd tv.

Is there a reason he told me to do it im not seeing?

Had this on my system when the second link mysteriously disapeared, was told to access the menu, and turn it to on and then it came back, i think you only need to do it if the link isnt working

Cheers for that. Is there anyway i can change channels from the 2nd TV? Can i buy a gadget that does this?

You don't need a IR sender with Sky.
You just need a Sky Digilink - it is a mouse-shaped IR-receiver which plugs between the co-ax of 2nd tv and 2nd aerial socket.

About £15.
This is what the RF2 enable is for - it puts 9V onto the co-ax cable for powering this device and for sending back the remote commands.

Turning this RF2 output on and off will NOT affect the picture whether you have a digilink or not.
