How to connect Sky via a Link(magic eye).

Have just bought a 20inch Sony Bravia TV with Freeview but are unable to connect Sky from a central digibox via a magic eye link system. Any ideas?

    The magic eye needs power from the RF 2 output on the sky box which is off by default , have you turned this on ?
    Press Services then 4,0,1 and press select then 4 ( RF outlets ) select ,
    Make sure RF power supply is set to on , click on save new settings and select.

    Also do the button presses in quick succession - they are to take you to a 'hidden' menu.

    You should get the LED light come on on the magic eye if its working. If it doesnt, check its not your wiring by plugging it directly into RF2 on the back of your sky box.

    There's an instruction page for the Sky magic eye here:
