Can someone help?

Live in a flat with main satellite in / out etc in the living room and areial sockets in the 2 bedrooms.

I have sky+ HD cables going into sky box and a cable going into (in effect) a satellite out socket in wall, this then feeds terrestrial signal and (on channel 6) the sky signal to the 2 bedrooms.

So I can now which sky in the bedroom/s using just a std aerial lead from TV to TV aerial socket.

Only issue is I have to set sky to the desired channel in living room and then walk into bedroom to watch. I was told by an AV installer any cheap seeing eye thing ie will solve this problem.

I have adjusted the settings in sky+ to make this work, plugged in eye to aerial socket behind bedroom TV but it does not work.

Q1 What am I doing wrong?

Q2 Is it normal to get a mild electric shock from the TV aerial cable that goes in the back of the bedroom TV? I only ask as this might impact Q1

Thanks in advance

thanks - there is certainly a splitter of some kind in a box in the hallway cupboard but won't be messing about in there

sounds like a typical 10 min job costing me £100 for a call-out frown

thanks though
