Magic Eye

Hello,

Not too sure if this is the best place to post but here goes….

I have a little TV in my bedroom and the signal is rubbish there is no outside aerial its just a little one that plugs into the back (old fashioned type), I get the usual grey lines.

Someone mentioned that I should get a magic eye for my sky box??? Would this send the whole sky signal to my TV? Or do these just work once you have a good picture?

My other option is getting an aerial person out to run an aerial from my loft into my bedroom. But then what would happen to this once everything goes digital?

So confused with it all grrrr

    Assuming you have an aerial connected to your Sky box, then the feed from the RF2 output will foreward both the terrestrial channels and the Sky channel that the box is tuned to.
    The magic eye is power fed from the RF2 and will allow you to remotely control the Sky box.

    Assuming your little TV does not have a digital tuner, it will continue to get the Sky channel, however to decode digital terrestrial you would need a freeview box.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
