We have a Sky digi box and card: can we put Sky card into Humax box or connect in another way so we can have both thanks

No, it can only record from its own tuners via an aerial, not from a scart connection..

Put BT box into standby. This is probably due to the scart connection. Try to connect both boxes via HDMI if possible.

with a scart lead Connect the VCR's Scat (TV OUT PUT) to The TV's Scart ( IN PUT) Port 1 or 2 it doesn't matter which one, then take your aerial cable coming in from the roof & put it in your digi box(ANTENNA IN) Then a cable from (TV OUT ) on digi box in to(ANTENNA IN) on VCR or from digi box out to the VCR's SCAT IN with a scart lead.

if you have followed the sky instructions and connected the aerial to the sky box first, don't. Always connect the aerial to the digital tuner first as the sky box and any other equipment will reduce the signal strength.

Turn Off the SKY box power and leave it off for 30 mins. Put the card back in to the box and turn it back on. Also make sure your phone line is connected OK. If this does not cure the problem contact SKY for assistance and possibly a new Card. They are also replacing all the viewing cards at preasent.

I would advise connecting your sky box to the TV with a scart cable or better still a HDMI cable & not the RF cable. The reasons for this sre
1.. You should get a much better quality of picture from Sky
2.. You will not need to tune in the TV just go to the AV or HDMI input source to obtain the sky channels.

I believe that the Humax can only output 1 channel and because it has no built in hdd and twin channel capabilty that is all you can record 1 channel (unlike sky +/sky HD) so that means also that unless you watch a different source (like the picture from your aerial (terrestial channels)) you are stuck with having to watch the channel you record

Yes on the back of the box there is a RF2 output...

run a coaxil aerial cable from there to your required TV, you then need to tune the 2nd tv to the sky box.

You can also buy a 'Magic Eye' and a 'extra remote' this will allow you to change channels from the second destination with only 1 digi box.

Down point is that you have to watch the same channel on both tv's.

a second card and box and a dual LNB will allow you to watch seperate channels.

does it on both the sky box and the cable connection??

Ok, have solved it!

I hadn't placed the "magic eye" in the right position on the Sky digi box.

Now have Sky in my kitchen, a good picture, sound and the remote works great!
