hi folks, after a bit of help re my new Sky Magic Eye...
My setup is as follows;
- Sky+HD - TV connected to Sky box by HDMi cable only (no co-ax or similar)
- Coax cable from rf2 on sky box to wall socket (wall socket also has an arial point which my broadband is connected to)
- Cable runs round outside of house and comes in front room wall, which i have then added the Magic Eye to and into my TV.
I am not getting a red light on the Eye and also i can't tune the TV set into the Magic Eye (although i did only try for about 10 minutes on ch68 output from Sky box)
Any nudges in the right direction would be very muchly appreciated please...

Have you tried plugging the eye directly into the RF2 out on the Sky box? That should eliminate any cable faults between the two.
If it still doesn't respond, it's either a faulty eye or no DC output from the Sky box.0 -
yes tried it direct into sky box and it worked0

Then it's a cable fault between Sky box and remote TV.0

Right ok, any suggestions?0
