What You Will Need
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items:
- Sky set-top box
- Coaxial cable
- Remote control
- RF modulator (if your TV does not have an HDMI port)
Step 1: Connect the Coaxial Cable
Start by connecting one end of the coaxial cable to the output port on your Sky set-top box. This port is usually labeled “RF Out” or “TV Out”.
Step 2: Connect the Coaxial Cable to the Second TV
Take the other end of the coaxial cable and connect it to the input port on the second television. Make sure to screw it in securely to ensure a stable connection.
Step 3: Switch on the Second TV
Switch on the second television and change the input source to “Antenna” or “TV”. Use your remote control to navigate the TV’s menu and find the appropriate input option.
Step 4: Tune the Second TV
Once you have selected the correct input on the second TV, you will need to tune it to find the Sky signal. Depending on your TV model, you can use the “Auto Tune” or “Auto Program” feature. Allow the TV to scan for available channels.
Step 5: Enjoy Sky on Both TVs
You’re all set! Now you can enjoy your favorite Sky channels on both televisions simultaneously. Simply switch on your Sky set-top box and select the desired channel using the remote control.
What If My TV Doesn’t Have an HDMI Port?
If your second TV doesn’t have an HDMI port, you can still transmit the Sky signal by using an RF modulator. Follow these additional steps:
Step 1: Connect the RF Modulator
Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the “RF Out” port on the RF modulator and the other end to the second TV’s input port.
Step 2: Connect the Modulator to the TV
Use AV cables to connect the RF modulator to the second TV’s AV input. Make sure to match the corresponding colors of the cables and ports.
Step 3: Tune the TV
Follow the same tuning process as mentioned in step 4, but this time apply it to the RF modulator channel on the second TV.
Transmitting the Sky signal to another television is a straightforward process. Whether your TV has an HDMI port or not, following our step-by-step guide will allow you to enjoy Sky channels on multiple screens throughout your home. Get ready to never miss another episode of your favorite show!
