Anyone got it? does it work well? Easy to install?
For anyone that doesn't know what i'm going on about it's a way of linking your sky tv from one room to another without the need of another skybox. It also allows you to change channel too from another room. Only costs £20 apparently.

I have a magic eye device that I use to change the channel on the sky box from the bedroom. Very simple & works well.

If you want to drive multiple tellys on it, you need an amplfier that is compatible with the DC voltage they put over the UHF lead.
They work well.

As above, they work a treat.
I've rigged an extra 2 up in my house using a small amplifier unit bought on on ebay(£10), it powers itself from the 5V the sky RF2 socket sends out.

You need to run a coax cable from RF2 on your skybox to the room you are having it in, you then need to switch on RF2's power (instructions do come with the eye) then set the modulator frequency to one that is clear and tune in on your second TV. The hardest part is running the cable properly wink
