sky multi room magic eye set up

[Pete Wyatt]

Hi,
I have searched archives for the answer to this but cant find one!
I have a standard digibox and a sky+hd digibox.
the magic eye controls the standard box and i want it to control the sky+hd box.
i can access the 'hidden' menu and have turned off the power to rf2 on standard box and turned it on for the rf2 out on the sky+hd box.

it doesnt work!

what else do i need to do?

thanks

Pete

I assume the cable to the magic eye is coming directly out of the SkyHD RF2 now and not out of the standard receiver.

The power needs to be turned on, on both boxes if you want to control both of them.

yes it is.

I have turned the basic box to off and the skyHD box to 'power on'

I have put the eye directly to rf2 out and there is power.

You are using the HD remote to change the channel via the magic eye arn't you? Do you have power at the upstairs TV?

Try it with the aerial input unplugged at the SkyHD receiver, is it an straight run from there to the Magic eye?

hi, yes I am using the hd remote to try to control the hd digibox. yes the other tv has power to it from the rf cable (light is on on the magic eye)

not sure what you mean here.

On the rear of the receiver you should have an aerial input, if there is a connection to it, try unplugging it.

Also, you are sure that you have tuned the correct receiver to the TV upstairs (ie the HD one not the standard one).

i havent tried taking the aerial input out yet. Why might that make a difference?

The other tv is tuned for both sky boxes ie on channel 6 i have sky and channel 7 i have skyHD
