    What's the IO link? The controlling part of Magic eye? That needs a voltage from the RF2 OUT on the Sky box. I had a distributor/amp in the loft, which did not pass on this voltage. I had to change it for one that said it was Magic Eye compatible, and that works great with the same cable layout.

    Newer sky boxes do not have an RF2 out, you need an I/O link to replicate this.
