Sky in 4th room

Hi all after some help/advise. I have two sky boxes on a multi room subscription the second box in my bedroom runs one of my daughters TV's with a io box and magic eye I'm now looking at extending this into my other daughters room and don't want to use the same setup from the box downstairs. Is it possible to run another one off the box upstairs and if so does anyone know of a wireless solution?

Thanks in advance.

    You can try wireless transmitters, but they're susceptible to interference (microwaves for example) and very poor though walls. HD ones are expensive. No way of knowing if they'll work in your house without buying and testing them.
    You can extend the magic eye system - I've got 1 Sky box, and magic eye on 2 TVs, both of which can control it. It sounds like this is what you want to do, even though you've got another separate Sky box.
    This is the setup I have - Sky box - RF2 OUT - Amplifier in roofspace. An RF OUT from amplifier into each of the 2 TVs to be sent to. Magic eye plugged into each TV like you already have.
    Note that RF2 on the Sky box gives out a voltage. Your amplifier will run off this, and the Magic eyes will also use it. You need an amplifier that is compatible with Magic Eye.
