To do this, get a Sky TV Link/Eye. This plugs in between the aerial cable and your second TV set, and has a little infrared eye that you position near your TV. When you point a Sky remote at the eye, the signal shoots down the aerial wire to the Sky box, and changes channel.

Is there an IR LED on the front of a Sky Box?
Yes, I know I can put an IR LED on the front of the box, but I have multiple boxes and would have to provide good shielding so the IR signal doesn’t leak out to adjacent boxes. The direct connection would be much neater, IMHO. Does anyone have this information, or know where to get it from?
