TV Link/Magic Eye Question

Guys,

Is it possible to have more than 1 TV Link/Magic Eye working from a single
Sky+ box ?

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Yes - I have two, but they do have a booster/splitter connecting them. I
think you have to get the correct splitter as well because of the voltage
sent out. See these:

Yes.

It most certainly is. I installed 3 magic eyes in my brother's set
up.

Just one additional point.

A simple co-ax splitter degrades the RF signal, and is unlikely to
work properly with TV-link. However, the OP probably has an amplifier
in his loft, which distributes RF signals to various TVs. If so:

1. He will need to route a co-ax cable via the RF input on the
amplifier / distributor.

2. Not all amplifiers are compatible with TV-links. TV-link
devices are dependent upon the output voltage from the RF2 socket on
the digibox . Most older amplifiers block this voltage. Check
whether the amplifier includes a voltage bypass.

Sometimes called "DC pass". Most makers advertise if their dist amps are
link Sky link compatible.

Or so they don't have to feed the $KY machine royalties, correctly known as
bi-directional distribution amplifiers.
