Running 2 tv's off 1 skybox f5s.

[jiekam]

Hi,ive currently got a skybox+hd and a skybox f5s, and ive just installed a coax cable with a rf modulator to run from the f5s to the upstairs tv.

Ive also got a wire connected from the loop f5s to the skybox.Problem is,when both boxes are on,certain channels on the skybox+hd show no signal (itv)while most of the others work.

Can anyone tell me how i can get these certain channels to show up on the skybox+hd if possible?? dont mind loosing the record function on the skybox+ either.

Only one box at a time will work when you use loop through what ever box is in control of the lnb will determine what can be seen by the other, because you said you have sky+hd I would assume you have quad lnb therefore why not run sat cable from a spare output from your lnb to your F5s that is the best solution for you.

ps if you dont mind losing the record function then just use one of the sat cables going into your sky+hd box.

If you do remove one of the feeds from the $ly+ box, then you will need to use "single feed mode" from the Engineers menu.
