I feed the output from mine into the loft, which then goes into a six way booster.
so any DVB-T equipment in the house can pick it up, however only DVB-T2 equipment can display the channel as the encoder uses MPEG4.
I did try the magic eye, it powered the eye but I did not get the remote to respond.
I didn't spend enough time playing with that (only a quick test) I may look into it more when I get a day off.
There is no need for a splitter, but if you really want to split the HDMI before the modulator then I would recommend the one I have.

I have made recordings on computer using this splitter (a lot of splitter's may not allow this)
The unit comes with a 2 pin power adapter.
you may need one of these.

as I had one lying around (I took the HDD out of caddy and put it in PC)
And as for temperature mine is not hot at all, I can fell its slightly warm but far from hot.
I have mounted it with spacers for the is an inch gap behind it. ( changed gain setting to -8db maybe that helps)
Overall I am pretty pleased with my purchase and if performs well.
I found it really easy to setup, but then I do understand the setting I was playing with.
I have added my setting file to this the only thing that you might need to change is
"<channel>56<\channel>" which shouldn't have any problems with the Bromsgrove tramsmitter.
at A quick glance 32-38 and 50+ should be ok.
