Sky Plus help please
Sky Plus help please
I have sky plus in my living room. We don't have multi-room, but my wife said there is a gadget that we can get so she can control the box from the bedroom.
I have the normal sky plus (not HD). There are so many on eBay that I want some help first.

I have heard of something called a Magic Eye which you can plug into the sky box, and run it through to another room, plugging it into a second tv, which lets you watch the second tv for whatever content is running on the box... Never used it myself though, use Sky's Multiroom service.

MArsdendean, that's the one i'm on about. She is pregnant and finds the sofa uncomfortable, so I just want her to enjoy a bit more than freeview while i'm at work.
Cheers.

We have a video sender that wirelessly sends the picture to the room where the receiver is:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-SLV5400-...B000BSPOCA
We have this one, not sure if you can get it any more but there will be other similar devices available. This one comes with an additional remote and you can operate the sky box (or whatever) through this thing as well so no need for an additional device.
If you just need it to change channels, then something like this should be sufficient:

The benefit of these devices is that they will work with multiple sources, not just your sky box.

Have you already got the picture being sent up to the bedroom and just need to control it via remote or do you need both?

Obviously if you look at something like parthiban linked to, you don't need a remote eye, because the device carries both the tv signal and the remote control signals all in one go.
The thing you're thinking of is a 'Remote Eye'. It presumes that you have your sky box in your front room, connected to your tv with scart/hdmi/whatever. There is a coax (tv aerial) output plug on the back of the skybox that says +5V or something above it. You run a really long aerial cable from that port to the second room, stick the remote eye on the end of the cable, then stick that into the back of the tv. The sky box remotely powers the remote eye and the tv aerial signal carries the picture, as well as relaying any remote control signals back to the sky box.

So does this magic eye thingy send the remote signal through the RF cable?
