SLx Magic Eye IR for Sky - Good little gadget Sent: 30 December 2008
I bought this little gadget to try and get Sky cheaply to an upstairs room and decided that I would try this first before buying a digi-sender as I already had co-axial leads running around the house.
Digisenders apparently pick up interference from Wireless Broadband etc. which can make the picture fuzzy, this in my opinion defeats the object as you expect Sky to have a good digital picture.
The Magic Eye arrived quickly and had full clear instructions on how to fit the Eye to the RF2 outlet of your Sky box, it then showed you how to alter your Sky remote so that it would allow output to the Eye.
A co-axial aerial cable is required to run from your first TV to your 2nd TV, also you need a female connector to connect the co-axial cable to the RF2 on the rear of your Sky box.
Mine didn't work to start with despite tight co-axial connectors, I noticed that the connector was bent at one end of the eye and decided that for £3 it was worth trying to straighten out.
A bit of fiddling around with both Magic Eye and co-axial cable and the red light finally came on (you need to have power to your Sky box for it to work). Then it's simply a case of tuning your 2nd TV into Sky, choose a channel that isn't an analogue one for easiness so that you are sure that you have Sky. The picture on the 2nd TV is perfect.
I have only given it 4*'s due to it being flimsy and needing to be bent back into shape but would definately recommend it to anyone with spare co-axial around the house as a cheap way to get Sky into another room.
Digi-senders would be tidier but a lot more expensive.
Brilliant little gadget  Sent: 03 December 2008
When I saw the price of this little gadget on Amazon I thought why not, it's cheap as chips. It arrived 2 days later with a SKY HD remote bought separately and it is a revelation. It's simply great! For me it was just a case of setting the Sky box to power it and plug it in. Simple and for 3 quid, I cannot think of anything else I've bought in ages that is better value for money. Thoroughly recommended.
Works Perfectly Sent: 02 December 2008
An excellent item, good value too.
Works with my Sky HD box perfectly, far cheaper than any other and has good quality RF connectors.
