Hello
I am planning on getting Sky TV installed for the first time. I plan to buy an IO Link and some magic eyes to distribute the Sky signal in to two bedrooms upstairs. I don't trust the Sky engineers to do a decent job judging by the state of their installation on the house next door and I don't want the cable just slinging over my gutters and roof, so I have just ordered some Webro WF65CU twin cable which I will route through the loft from one side of the house to the other and I have some existing Webro WF100 cable to put in a new return feed cable from the living room back up to the loft etc, I've also ordered a new wall plate for the living room. I am fairly happy on how to do all of this but..
I have just looked at my Wolsey 334038 Distribution amplifier in the loft and it appears it does not support Sky IR Pass. So I think I will need a new amplifier. Possibly this one? Wolsey 334024.
Is this my only option to purchase a new amp? With the IO Link and magic eyes its getting more expensive than I had planned for. Not sure why Sky took off the RF1 and RF2 ports on their new set top boxes.
The only other question is these Wolsey amps have two inputs VHF and UHF. The existing digital roof aerial connects to the UHF port and I am assuming the Satellite return cable from the living room / IO Link will connect to the other VHF input on the amp?
Many thanks
