possible magic eye problem

Hi all, I have a powered loftbox that has 4 tv's hanging from it, thi shas all worked for months but suddenly the upstairs remotes only work when they feel like it, the remotes are all fine as they will work the box if i take them into the living room, but not from the magic eye, the picture is fine and nothing has chnaged, do you think its more likey to be the loftbox thats faulty or is it possible that the sky+ box has simply stopped responding to the remotes on RF2, I have powered it down and that hasnt helped?

Cheers

I would check for a duff connection in the lead/plug running from the RF2 out on the Sky box to the loftbox input.

Definitely seems like a connection issue on this one, Rf connections can be tricky, especially from a distribution box.
