Magic eye for Sky

webbie1988

so u have to have a cable running from the sky box to the other tv??? i already have something similar to this (you plug on thing in the sky box and the other thing into the tv you want it sending to so no messy wires) and its playing up and was looking into getting a new one but dont fancy having wires all over the house

You have to run a cable from the Sky box to the remote TV. Then you can watch what the Sky box is tuned to.

With this widget in the cable at the remote TV end you can then use a second Sky remote control to change Sky channels from the remote TV. (to the annoyance of anyone watching the main tv!! )

When we first put it in our bedroom the kids didn't know it was there, I sat upstairs while DD was downstairs watching Disney Channel. I kept flicking it over to Sky Sports, she'd turn it back. This went on for perhaps half an hour or so until DD was almost squealing with frustration.
She finally twigged when she could hear me laughing upstairs

Such a cruel Mother :p

Son paid for Sky in his room but I had one of these run to my bedrom (via a wire) and I could watch in day when he was in work/uni.
Now he's moved out I still use it and the sky box is stil in his room - cheaper that gettting things rewired.

In essence its like having the box in the same room, so whatever you can do on the Sky Box you can do through the magic eye in another room.

All this does is allow you to control the sky box from another location, if you change the channel to watch a recorded programme then yes you can watch it. Perefct for people who watch TV before sleeping can fast forward through the ads without leaving your bed!!!

This set up still needs a coax running between the sky box and the second tv
