Connecting new tv to Sky+ via Ariel

karen+trust+1962 — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 12:07:05 GMT

I am nearly in tears, I have a sky+ box and have it connected to my bedroom TV via Ariel RF and use the eye to change channels, my TV no longer works and just brought a new Toshiba 32" smart TV I have set it up all working but just don't know how to connect my sky+ I have used the exact configuration as before, Ariel to eye and eye to back of tv worked great before and was simple, I have auto scanned and it says 1 analogue channel found but cannot find it, I press done and it just goes to BBC1 have I brought an incompatible TV for Sky+ I don't want Sky Q as I watch tv in my bedroom and Sky Q does not have an RF output, I hope there is a solution as I am at my wits end 😞

If it has found the analogue channel then it does appear to be working so try using your new TV remote to switch between the channel options to find the analogue one.

It will correctly go to BBC1 if that's what your Sky box is tuned to. Try tuning to a different channel on your Sky box and see if the bedroom TV changes accordingly.
