satellite tv in another room

[bazzacr]

i have bought one of these magic eyes, but cant get it to work properly. the red light comes on, so there is no problem with the magic eye. i just want to watch the same programme on sky on in the lounge,in the dining room. in the dining room we have tv/dvd portable combi so i dony know if this has to be tuned in any differently or do i have buy another sky remote or a booster any ideas?

You may have to tune the combi in to the correct channel. Is the combi plugged into a built in socket in the wall? Some sockets are not suitable; easy and cheap to change. We had this problem in a house with built in sockets, bypass or change the socket. Retune channel before anything else.

There's also a setting withing the digibox menus you need to change. Can't remember where it is, but it's something to do with allowing power to get to the magic eye. Check the instructions of the magic eye because it definately told me what to do when I bought mine.

not sure what you mean by magic eye. if its one of those gadgets thats sends the signal from main tv to one in another room then i had a similar problem.the solution for me was to read the instructions correctly it turned out that the scart leads for sender and receiver are different and have to be connected correctly .once i had connected the sender scart to sender unit and receiver scart to receiver everything worked
