I was contemplating getting multi room and was googling and came across 
a site thast says you can enable rf2 feature and run a cable to other tv 
set ?

Is this truse or a bogus claim.

I've been contemplating it for a while getting multi room and sky have 
offered it to me for 3 months free, which I'm tempted with.

Thanks

Using RF2 will give you a picture on a Tv in another room, but it'll
be the same channel as the other outputs of the digibox. Multiroom
means you have another digibox in another room with independant
control over its channels.

Hi,

Don't just plug a TV into this socket as you might damage it because of the 
voltage out of the RF2 socket. You need a TV-Link device in between them.

No you don't. You only need a TV-Link if you want to be able to change the 
channel of the Sky box from the remote location, ie, the bedroom or kitchen 
or whatever. 8 years ago, I ran a coax from the RF2 outlet of my Sky digibox 
to a small, 13A-plug-in-type aerial amplifier behind the telly and from that 
I took it into the bedroom, spare bedroom (my computer room) and kitchen and 
it's worked perfectly ever since. The 9 volts on the coax does no damage at 
all - having said that, all our tellies ar CRT, not LCD or Plasma.

It is off by default, it should only be turned on if a TV-link is used.

Would the  voltage from the RF2 via the Aerial Amp damage LCDs and
Plasmas?

How much is it amplified by the amp?

You can turn the magic eye power off anyway.
Services 4 - 0 - 1 <select>
That is 5 button pushes in all. (Select is the centre button.)
In this menu there is an option to switch on/off the RF2 power.

If you wish to use an amplifier and magic eyes get an amplifier that has
power on all its outlets and then again you can leave the output power
from rf2 switched off.

I used the 8 way and its been great.
http://www.beststuff.co.uk/aerial_amplifiers.htm
Aerial amplifier with by-pass
SLx4B   4 way    £23.99
SLx6B   6 way    £27.50
SLx8B   8 way    £29.99

The "B" suffix models return remote control signals to rf2 and supply
power so you don't need any from the sky box.

> How much is it amplified by the amp?

Not enough to cause overload of the Sky output but possibly from the
aerial signal. It also can mean that very weak distant stations that don't
normally interfere can sometimes after this amplification but it only
needs a little attenuator in the aerial lead just before it goes into the
Sky box or choosing a different (cleaner) rf channel to distribute Sky
around your home.
