Sky help please

[*Gullsworth*]

used to have an old portable in the bedroom running off a co-ax from sky box in living room. Replaced old portable with small TOSHIBA flat screen and now cant get a picture. We could only watch what was selected from the living room....which was fine, you pressed 0 on the remote and if you fell asleep sky switched off after 2 hours of inactivity ( no puns please )
So all you sky experts how can I get a picture on the new portable if possible? Cheers

Have you tried turning it off, then turning it on again?

sounds obvious so you've probably tried already, but have you run the auto-tune option to pick up all channels on the Toshiba?

You need to tune the new tv

You will have to tune the Sky signal in the bedroom to Analogue not digital. Hopefully the new tv has a DTV/ATV select button or something.

Do new TVs even have a coax feed nowadays, it's old hat and most things now run off scart or hdmi now don't they? If it does have a coax feed then you have to tune the tv in like in the old days, if not I don't think they make scart leads narrow enough or long enough to reach a bedroom, the longest I've seen is a 5m lead.
