in Techie Stuff
I have a sky hd box downstairs which has cable running from it to tv in the bedroom. I then have cable running from tv in bedroom to tv in kitchen.
The tv in the bedroom uses a magic eye so i can change channels The tv in the kitchen has to be changed by going into lounge to change channels.
As the tv in the kitchen is wired direct from the bedroom can i plug in another magic eye without needing anymore cables.

Thanks for any help

    Yes the Sky box can power up to two magic eyes.
    Please note that you have to maintain DC continuity to both remote TVs.
    So if you are using an active splitter it has to be one with a DC pass through.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
