To do this you need to connect an coaxial cable to it and then run it to extra TV points, you will also need to access the Sky installer menu and switch the RF power supply to on. The big downside of doing things this way is that the picture outputted from an RF2 output is only an analogue quality picture which may look very grainy or unclear on your flat screen TV, especially the larger ones. I have used all of these suggestions at one time or another so hopefully it will help you decide the best place to put your Sky box when TV is wall mounted. There are many AV shelves that can be purchased for the siting on AV equipment underneath wall mounted TV’s. To combat this I suggest using the RF2 output for controlling the Sky box only and utilising the HDMI output for the best Sky picture quality like Full 1080p HD or 4K.

The blog assumes that this will be a HDMI cable but there are other systems out there that allow a HDMI signal to be relayed from your Sky box over Cat5/6 or coaxial cables which I will discuss in an older blog on how to distribute Sky Q around your home. You may or may not already be aware, but the Sky box doesn’t have to be on show and it can be hidden away and still be controlled and accessed as normal.

The unique design of our Sky Q Mount wraps the Sky Q Mini Box for a secure fit and doesn't block ports or sensors, ensuring full functionality of the device. Thanks to the sleek design of the mounting bracket, interference with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals isn't an issue.

I couldn’t work out a way in the end to attach the mount to my existing bracket so I opted for the wall mount option. What to expect from our service, how we differ from the rest and how using us can actually benefit you! This blog has been written with Sky boxes in mind as this is perhaps the most likely piece of equipment that will be connected to your TV. I perhaps should have read the small print as actually it would only fit via VESA mount on smaller TVs where the holes are upto 200mm, not 400mm as is found on larger TV’s.

Sometimes the analogue RF2 TV picture can be improved by moving the Sky RF output channel to another number.

If your Sky box doesn’t have an RF2 output you may need an add on i/0 link adapter which will allow you to connect a remote eye to the set up. The Sky boxes come preset to UHF channel 68 which is not a good channel to be using as it is now part of the frequency band now used for 4G mobile communications and you could get 4G interference on your TV picture. The RF2 output on the rear of most standard Sky and Sky+ boxes is great for controlling the Sky box from other rooms with a remote eye.
