First of all you need to turn on the power to the RF2 output. At the Sky box use the remote to choose, Services", 4, 0, 1, "Select", "RF Outlets", "RF Outlet Power Supply" switch to ON. Finally: "Save New Settings".
Second you don't use the Sky Remote in TV mode to switch channels via the magic eye. You use the Sky remote as though switching channel on the Sky Box itself.
