I've found that those particular magic eyes are rubbish & break easily.Reason is the square bit plugs directly into the back of the TV,If the TV is in a confined space & protrudes past the back of the TV,it's very easy to break the soldered contacts connecting the female or male belling ports to the circuit board inside.On 95% of service calls I went to at Sky involving magic eyes,that was the problem.
You're far better off going for these type;

The first one uses an F type connection instead of a belling on the circuit block,which is better as the's less chance of it pulling off.These are the ones I use.



The second one uses the normal male & female Belling connections;



On both of the above,the cable end connects to the TV.

Couldn't agree more, casing also split open if some one tugs the cable, personally I go for these:
