Setting up the DigiLink - IMPORTANT – please read carefully
Before you begin using the DigiLink you must provide power to it from your
Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver. The following instructions must be performed
from your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver location using your Sky™/Sky+™/
Sky+HD™ remote control:
1. Switch on your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver and view on your main TV.
2. Press the SERVICES button on your Sky remote (Figure 4.1).
3. Select the SYSTEM SETUP option. (For Sky+HD™ there is no SYSTEM SETUP
option press 0 instead.
4. Press the following buttons in sequence: 0, 1, SELECT. (for SKY+ HD this is a
hidden option and does not appear on screen). You should now see the
SETUP menu.
5. Go to RF OUTLETS and select the RF channel number option and key in a new
channnel number from 21-58. Make a note of the channel number you
choose as you may need it when tuning your other TVs.
6. Select RF OUTLET POWER SUPPLY. Set to ON (Using the left and right arrow
keys). Press SAVE SETTINGS (GREEN button).
7. Press the SKY button to return to normal viewing.
8. Check that the red LED on the DigiLink is lit to indicate that the settings have
been performed correctly. If this LED is not on, repeat the above instructions
or check the troubleshooting guide.
Step Four
Using the DigiLink
1. Switch on your second TV and select an empty channel.
2. Tune and store this channel to the Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver.
Depending on your TV, you may be able to tune to the RF channel number
displayed in the installers' menu. Please check your TV user manual for details
of how to tune your TV.
3. Once tuned to your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver you should be able to use
your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ remote control to control your Sky™/Sky+™/
Sky+HD™ receiver and view Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ channels on your 2nd TV.
Additional Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ remote controls are available for purchase
should you wish to use a separate remote control for each viewing location.
These should be available from your local electrical retailer.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problems setting up the DigiLink,
please read the instructions again carefully or see the
common questions below:
• I cannot view terrestrial TV channels on either of
my TVs
Check that your terrestrial aerial is connected to the
Aerial IN/RF IN socket on the back of your Sky™/
Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver from your aerial wall socket
or via your VCR. The terrestrial aerial signal will now be
output from RF1 (to your main TV) and RF2 (to your
second TV).
• The infrared LED does not switch on and my remote
control is not working
The DigiLink requires power from the Sky™/Sky+™/
Sky+HD™ receiver in order to power the remote
sensor. You can perform the following simple exercise
to nd where the DigiLink voltage is being lost.
1. Connect the DigiLink directly into the RF2 socket
on your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver. Does the
DigiLink LED light up?
YES - Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ box is OK, move to
next step.
NO - your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ box is not
switched on, or is not set up correctly (see step
three of installation instructions).
2. If you have an aerial ampli er/splitter between the
Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver and the second TV,
connect the DigiLink directly into an output socket
on your ampli er/splitter using a short piece of
coax cable with male to male connections. Does the
DigiLink LED light up?
YES - Aerial ampli er/splitter is OK, move to
next step
NO - Your ampli er/splitter is blocking the power
signal to your DigiLink. You will need to t a
digital ampli er bypass kit (available from
electrical retailers).
Waste electrical and electronic products must
not be disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check withyour Local Authority for recycling advice.

PLEASE NOTE: if your menu screens
appear di erent from those shown
below and you are unable to
activate the RF2 outlet power
supply, check your reciever manual
or contact the manufacturer or Sky™.
3. If you have any wall plates tted in either the main
or second TV locations, connect the DigiLink
directly into the wall plate in the 2nd TV location.
Does the DigiLink LED light up?
YES - Wall plates are OK, move onto next step
NO - One or more of your wall plates are
isolated and are blocking the DigiLink power
signal. Replace with non-isolated wall plates
(available from your local electrical retailer).
4. If the red LED still does not switch on after
performing the above excercise, it is likely that
there is a problem with the coax cabling or
connectors. Please check that all cables are free
from kinks, twists or tight bends and that all coax
connectors are tted correctly.
Once you have found the problem and recti ed as
detailed above, reconnect the DigiLink in the
second TV location as instructed in step two of the
installation instructions
• The DigiLink LED is on but my remote
control is not working
1. Fit an additional small length of coax cable between
the DigiLink and your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™
receiver to resolve a possible phasing problem
caused by the length of the cable being used.
2. Check the batteries in your remote control.
3. Ensure there is a clear line of sight between your
remote and the infrared eye.

Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver, please press the SERVICES
