Uses of Sky Magic Eye Installation Kit

  • Kit was created to accompany a Sky magic eye so as to contain everything (cable & connectors) needed to complete the installation of a Sky eye from a Sky Box to a TV in another room.
  • When used in conjunction with a Sky magic eye, it will allow you change the channels on your Sky receiver from a second TV

Multi-Room Sky Eye Installs

  • If you intend to install Sky magic eyes in a number of additional rooms, customers should choose either a
    • 2 or 4 way link amplifier (both distributes & amplifies the Sky signal to up to 4 other rooms)
  • Per Extra TV
    • Sky Eye (x 1)
    • F Connectors (x 3)
    • F Joiner (x 1)
    • 20m of Satellite Cable (May not be necessary depending on your set up)

Note on 9V RF Out

  • If your Sky Box or Satellite Receiver does not have an RF out with a 9V signal you will also need to buy the following item
    • Triax Tri-Link Kit (RF modulator with a 9V out signal)

Magic eye TV links are very useful and inexpensive but they are also prone to give a lot of problems. The nub of the issue is that the eye works off a 9V power supply given by a set top box and everything needs to be set up just right if the eye is work properly.


Stage 1: Install and test your magic eye directly off set top box

  • Ensure that the box is turned on connected to the TV
  • Connect the magic eye to the back to the "RF 2" outlet on the back of the box
  • Press the "services" button your remote
  • Select "system setup"
  • Press ‘0′, ‘1′ & ‘Select" in quick succession
  • From the Installer menu select ‘RF Outputs"
  • Turn the RF output setting to ‘ON" and exit saving settings
  • Also you can adjust the RF channel on which the signal will be broadcast
    • If you are combining an aerial input into the RF output this is critical
    • If the RF frequency is already being using by a TV channel it will cause interference
    • Avoid this by selecting an alternative channel number from 21-69 (68 is the default)
    • I generally set 35 as my default but it depends on what your local transmitter is.
  • Select ‘RF Outputs"
  • Exit out all the way and check to see does the magic eye now work
  • The LED on your magic eye should now be lighting

This step has verified that:

  • Your magic eye is in working order
  • That your box is capable of supplying the necessary 9V signal to power the eye

Stage 2: Install your magic eye in the 2nd room

  • Run a satellite cable (connect an existing cable) into the "RF 2" outlet on the back of the satellite box
  • This cable will need to be terminated with a coax connector and a coax joiner
  • In the attic, join the cable coming from the set top box to the cable feeding the additional TV
    using low loss F-connectors (qty 2) and an F joiner (qty1)
  • For multi-room, use 2 way or 4 way link amplifiers or distribution amplifiers
  • Terminate the other end of the cable in the second room with a coax connector
  • Push the coax connector into the magic eye
  • Push the magic eye into the back of the television
  • Tune the TV into the correct frequency ie. Channel 68 (default) which corresponds to 847MHz
  • Place the sensor part of the magic eye facing towards the seat which will be used by viewers
  • Use your remote to change channels on the remote set top box
  • INSTALLATION COMPLETE

Magic Eye Not Working - Problems & Solutions

I ordered my goods at 2pm they arrived 9.30am following day amazing service shame most other shops don’t do the same free.tv are definitely leading by example keep up the great service 11/10 *****
It was exactly what I ordered. Used the kit in conjunction with the YouTube support videos and I was up and running within 2 hours. The only slight issue was accessing the Installer Menu on the Sky Box. This needed a bit of research. Other than that, it was all great.
Received this kit in the post the next day simple to use followed your instruction and had it all set up in no time at all would highly recomend this product your video guide
