RF2 output. Is it stereo ?

Hi,

Does anyone know if the RF2 output on a SkyHD box caries stereo sound (like NICAM) or is it just mono ?
My TV says it's only receiving mono, but I'm sure I read somewhere that newer Sky+ and SkyHD boxes had stereo modulators in them.

Thanks.

NICAM is only on broadcast media usually, if you want to carry Stereo audio around the house, you will either need a Video Sender or cable that up separately.

There is only mono on rf outputs unless your using loop through (watching a terrestrial channel on tv from your aerial).

OK - Thanks for the quick responses guys.

I guess I am going to have to buy a stereo modulator and feed the video & audio into this, and then piggyback it to the RF2 output.

Time to hit Google me thinks !

Thats nothing to do with modulating a signal.

However Tempest, a NICAM modulator will not be cheap. I;ve never seen anything made for home use.

I'm confused! He wants a NICAM modulator. You point him at sites that don't do them?

Just copied the links from a folder.
He may have been able to run external speaker leads to a second AV reciever like I have in my appartment.
