black sky box

i am currently working out what new kit to get for my main viewing area and have sorted media mpc and plasma but would ideally want a black sky box with the same standard width as the others (all sky boxes seem narrower)

does anybody know if they make one that fits this desciption and is it a good signal model?

alternatively is it possible to hide the sky box and use a magic eye to redirect IR signal to box

Hiding it and using a magic eye will work, but make sure you set the output format on output #2 to the one you want to use, as it will switch to that format when it gets a signal from the magic eye

You may want to consider one of the new designer Sky+ boxes coming out.

These are being made by Aquadec Decorative Coatings for Sky.
