Connecting sky to new smart tv in extra room via sky tv link

belgariad — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 18:16:46 GMT

Hi, We have a sky+ box and use the tvlink to watch sky in another room. We bought a new smart tv today for the other room and after its all set up using the tvlink, we cant find where sky now is on the new tv. We've tried the different sources but no sky. Can anyone help?

Thanks Denise

A TV Link will only work if your new TV has an analogue tuner and not just a freeview tuner

@belgariad If you're not sure whether your new TV is compatible, post the make and model number and we'll try to check online.

I've included a screenshot of the specs from the online tv manual ...

@belgariad the specs online for this tv are best described as 'vague' but so far as I can see, it only has a digital, Freeview tuner as @TimmyBGood highlights above. It's not compatible, therefore with the Sky box's analogue RF output, I'm afraid.

@belgariad

Which will increasingly be the case for any set manufactured in the past few years.
