Need help with Sky distribution
Hi,
I've been installing a TV/Sky distribution system at my bruv's new house today, but I've run into a bit of a problem. The Sky box doesn't seem to be outputting any voltage on RF2 to power the Triax amp. I've checked the output with a voltage tester, and nothing, but it does output an RF signal from RF2 fine. Is it a set up problem with the Sky box or is the box faulty? Marky P.

Services - 4 - 0 - 1 - Select Choose RF Outlets. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

Bill Well, that's what I thought I'd have to do, but I couldn't find any mention of it in the menus. But thanks to Graham, I now know it's in the engineer's menu. Why do they do that? Is it to stop every Dick & Harry messing around with Sky's equipment? Marky P.
