Sky RF outlet power

timtheenchanter · 18 Oct 2010

any one know if there is a fuse inside a sky box for the RF2 power?

just bought a magic eye (at last) and wouldn't you know, it doesn't work with the house sky box, tried it in the one for the caravan, and its fine...

The RF2 power is on in the installers menu, but still no juice from the socket.

When you say no juice from the socket to clarify does this mean you are not measuring a 7/9v dc output across the rf2 socket at the rear of the sky box with the rf2 power enabled on the menu and nothing connected to it

As far as I can remember, on some digiboxes(Panasonic?) the rf2 outlet is fed by a small link cable from the main citrcuit bord and this cable can fail. the cables are available and if you are happy opening up the box are easy to fit.

yes, power to outlet is on in the menu, and getting no voltage on the RF2 outlet.

cant remember if its a panny box, will have a look later (the kids arw watching a film right now...

would a failed cable not affect the RF output though? the RF signal is fine, just no power...

If there is no dc voltage across rf2 socket at rear of the box with nothing connected then it only leaves the box.If rf is there then the internel lead must be ok.Suggest you register on your local freecycle website and ask for skybox my son has had two for free this way as there are a lot of unused boxes in sky customers homes not needed after being upgraded to plus or hd.
