Wireless magic eye equivalent

Options
Hi there

Seeking help, leaving sky this month to move to free sat with recorder. Currently have a box that acts as a magic eye but wirelessly. This is on its last legs and looking to replace with something that does the same job as cheaply as possible. Must be wireless. Any suggestions?
Cheers

    how about a streaming stick?
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
  • What's a streaming stick? :)

    I love ours , saves all the magic eye stuff and provides a good solution for the TV`s not in the main living room

    something like a ROKU or a Amazon fire stick

    you do need to have broadband tho...............

  • I just had a quick look and it doesn't seem like it would do the job, as I wanted to be able to watch stuff I had recorded downstairs, up in the bedroom. This would only be a solution for live tv. Plus we don't have access to cable or fibre so the less streaming the better..... Thanks though

    A "Powermid" is a wireless "magic eye" that lets you change channels remotely.
    But where are you controlling the Freesat box from and how are you getting the A/V there?
    Also, is the Video HD or SD?
