Have you made sure all the connections are secure, I had the same thing
happen, it turned out to be a loose connection on the RF extension lead.

The infra red link dongle I have in my bedroom has stopped working. The

red
light comes on if I connect it directly to the digibox but not if I put it
to my TV in the bedroom. The RF 2 is obviously activated.

A thought, I recently renewed a 2 metre length of sat cable going in to

the
link dongle with a length of bog standard coaxial TV cable. Would this be
why its not working? Does Sat cable do anything different to ordinary

coax?

Yes, all connections are solid.

Check again and again. The TVLink is very fussy about the connections.

Not half.......I remember losing half a day to one of those things; I just
couldn't get it to work unless connected directly to the RF2 port.

In the end, I left it in situ, in the bedroom & got on with something else.
When I went to bed, it was working.

You haven't introcuced a splitter/booster to the setup have you?
