Hi Folks,
I bought this unit on ebay so as to be able to dirtribute sky by way of a magic eye kit from same sellar to a few rooms in my house.

The problem that I have is that the normal push in coaxail aerial plug will not fit into any of the outputs of the units properly. They are far far too loose and keep slipping out.
I do actually have an old magic eye cable that is taking the sky signal into the input of the tv-splitter and that plug fits propely (same size as the 4 output sockets on the unit) so I would need a few of those.
Best way I can describe it its a push in silver plug with a section of engravings half way down then a black part that screws onto the silver part.
Hope someone might come up with the proper name as it seems to fit the tv splitter ok.
Thanks

Hi,
Should be just a standard RF connection. I'm a bit confused as to why your coax cable doesn't work.
Try buying a new coax cable from Poundland (for example) with at least one Male connection (rounded pin in the middle- to go into the back of this device) and it should fit.The quickest way to become a millionaire is start off as a billionaire and go into the airline business.

Standard 75 ohm TV coaxial plug. From your description, yours is a cheaper one with a plastic shroud, but they all do the same job.How do I add a signature?0
