RE: Re: TV Distribution Systems

Is your Sky box one that uses IRDA and not conventional IR? Some did or so
I hear as I cannot afford the time to watch pay TV so don't have one ;-(

Some manufacturers even had the same box some with IRDA and others with
'normal' IR

Try something else like a video to see if that works. If it does then
there is your answer. If it doesn't then more head scratching.

I use a SLX-8L 8-Way loftbox.

I got everything working some months ago except for the "SLX
tvLINK" IR
receiver units.

I turned on the SKY Box RF2 voltage output.

I checked that I have continuity thru the loftbox so that it passes the
drive voltage to the tv-outlet sockets to drive the "tvLINK"
units - and I
do.

In fact, the "tvLINK" units even flash when receiving IR in the
remote
rooms, so that shows they are functioning.

But the SKY box does nothing!

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Mark
