Can anybody recommend me a decent 1 in 2 out HDMI splitter. It's for a sky box which will be going to 2 TVs. We will have a magic eye in the room where the box isn't situated but I'd like to get an HD picture on both TVs and I believe sky boxes only have 1 HDMI out port.

I have NEET branded splitter and senders from ebay. Sender unit uses Cat6 cable over a 12m run. All been up and running for about 3-4 years without issues.

Also - worth looking at the Sky+ app for iPhone/Android as it does away with the need for the magic eye. (Only downside with the app I have found is that you can't use it to kick off iPlayer progs.. everything else works fine)
Thanks for the suggestions folks. Can the Sky+ app be used to control 2 sky boxes?

It can, but you'd need to manually switch between the two boxes depending on which one you wanted to control. Or if you've got more than one phone/tablet available, set one up per box.
Excellent news. Thanks for the info. We have a few IPhones and IPads so it should be an issue.
