  • OK when you say Daughter has a normal Tv and has to watch you watch on SKY, what is it she wants to watch ...another sky channel or another normal channel. ( she will get her aerial feed from the sky lead)

  • We cross posted, that will change the channel from what you are watching downstairs to what she wants in bed , it will change the channel you are watching.

    so you dont have a Sky box in her room?
    you would only be shunting whatever channel the HD box was watching to her room
    so everyone is watching one channel

  • A Sky Magic Eye. There are several really good brands incl Vision, Triax, Antiference and global to name a few. You will need to run a length of coax cable from the RF2 output on the back of the sky box to her TV. Fit the Sky Magic eye inbetween the coax cable and her TV. Just search on ebay for one, they should cost around £5-£6. Some sellers even do a full kit including a remote control, coax cable, some cable clips and connectors.

    My daughter has the white coax cable to her tv already but has to watch what i watch now as alot of her normal tv channels have gone ! So the one i have listed is that the right one to get but get a better brand ! I was looking on amazon as theres quite a few on there !
