Which coaxial cable to use?
 
What kind of wall plates will I need at each end to enable the magic eye to
work?
I hear some types kill the voltage going down the cable which is required to
use the magic eye device?

Okay, either of those should be fine.

Stating the obvious, but make sure there are no short circuits when you do
the wiring - the outer braid/foil must not touch the inner core of copper.

I am trying to do thus:

Using the rf2 output from a sky+ box via a splitter box to attach 2
cables, one for upstaurs and one for conservatory.
I will fit a magic eye at the end of each cabel giving me aerial
connection to each tv for quality pictures and also the ability to use
the sky+ box in upstairs room or conservatory.
The magic eye splitter box does not need any additional power to feed
two outputs.

Okay, understood. Can you tell me the make and model of your "magic eye
splitter box"?

Wallplates are the biggest single cause of remote eye failure. 'f'
types are far better than bellings.

Neither is Bill.

He is saying that wall plates with 'f' type connectors are better than
wall plates with belling connectors.

this correct?

Any links to where I can buy a couple of these?

Many thanks.
