Disconnect the tvLINK remote from the second television and take it to your SKY Digibox.

Connect the tvLINK,remote female connector, directly onto the back of the Digibox (no cable just the tvLINK) into RFOut2, making sure the red LED is furthermost away from the Digibox.

Point the remote control at the tvLINK eye and try calling up the one of the menus. i.e. Services or, TV guide.

If it doesn't work at this location, uncover the front of the Digibox and enter back into the installer menu by following these instructions.
