Well, I would start with the problematic ones.
http://www.avforums.com/forums/sky-...blems-questions-discussions.html#post18864893this shouldn't be in the fixed thread and I've been considering setting it up separately.
anyone who has their sky box connected to the internet and has a iphone[ can use the app - no need for magic eye anymore
for some reason the signal isn't always accepted by the box
That sounds far more likely than what you first post implied.He also said they weren't allowed to muck about with anyone's cabling (mine goes to an amplifier / splitter in the loft and I had hoped he might fiddle with the connections for me) in case the customer then decided to hold them responsible for anything that might go awry.
Anyway, I've now ordered a decoupled cable from SatCure (I don't trust myself to make one), so I'll see if that makes the eye work better.
If he was a Sky employee I didn't know they'd ever supplied "eyes" and it's surprising that they sent him to fix a problem with one.they no longer supplied or installed magic eye connections
Yep, it wasn't what the first installer said but it sounds far more reasonable.That sounds far more likely than what you first post implied.
The problem was that the RF2 transmission down to the kitchen was working perfectly from the old box before they installed the new one, at which point the signal was useless. This bloke came round to try to get us back to the status quo - otherwise we'd have been worse off after their work than before it.If he was a Sky employee I didn't know they'd ever supplied "eyes" and it's surprising that they sent him to fix a problem with one.
If the cabling you mention is also about RF2 Out then they're not involved with that either.
The fact that the problem was caused by me shuffling the cables in the loft box so that the RF2 output looped around and came back into the Sky box as the aerial input was neither here nor there. Happily, the installer took it with good grace.
My question relates to the information above and the TV link product mentioned for this box.
What has RF Out to do with videosenders?I have the AMSTRAD DRX-595 Sky HD box and have been trying desperately to get a video sender to work with this.
I now (finally) understand why I get video and sound but cannot get the remote to work. It has no RF out.
