I needed this as a secondary infra red receiver because my Sky plus box is hidden in a cabinet and can't receive the signal from my Sky remote. I didn't want it for connecting to any tv, main or 2nd set, because my Sky remote is already tuned to my tv (volume and on/off) , I just needed it to change channels on my Sky box, without my Sky box being in view. When I opened the packaging & read the instructions I was dismayed when I read that I needed a coax cable & had to connect it to tv. But I found that this was not the case in my situation, my Sky plus box is connected to tv via scart lead. I just plugged the unit straight into the RF2 socket on my Sky plus box and stuck the infra red receiver onto side of cabinet (threaded through a hole in the back) the unit comes with sticky pad that made this possible. Now, even though my Sky box is hidden, it can receive a remote signal via a less noticeable Magic Eye (I had to also set my Sky box in order to set up the RF - pressing 'SERVICES' on my remote, then 4, 0, 1, SELECT (this has to be done blindly as the numbers don't show up on screen as you press them). INSTALLERS MENU came up, I picked 'RF OUTLETS' and then turned 'RF OUTLET POWER SUPPLY' on.....and that was that). But you may need a length of coax cable for connecting the unit to the Sky box if you need longer than 2 feet, for that is the length of wire the Magic Eye comes with, it was just enough in my case. It IS NOT a video sender. It CANNOT send a picture from Sky box to your tv. It would have to be connected via a length of coax cable in order to send signal to your tv, via RF which is one of the worst ways to send signal to your tv.
(UPDATE OCTOBER 2011)
The newer SKYHD boxes will need a new code, not 401 as above.
After connecting the Magic Eye to the 'RF OUT' connection in the back of your SkyHD box. Press SERVICES on your Sky remote, followed by: 0, 0, 1, SELECT (again blindly as the numbers do not appear on screen). Then, in the menu that appears on screen select 'RF OUT'. Then select 'RF POWER SUPPLY' - it'll be turned off, turn it to ON and then press the GREEN button to SAVE your choice. Your Magic Eye will work fine then, mine does.

This piece of kit is great!
It only took me about 5-10mins to set up. Make sure you read the instructions, they are short and sweet but have a key part in where you enter a number into your sky/sky+ box to activate the RF socket on the box, this in turn powers the philex adapter. I have had this gizmo for nearly a year now and cannot fault it.

I bought this little gadget to try and get Sky cheaply to an upstairs room and decided that I would try this first before buying a digi-sender as I already had co-axial leads running around the house.
Digisenders apparently pick up interference from Wireless Broadband etc. which can make the picture fuzzy, this in my opinion defeats the object as you expect Sky to have a good digital picture.
The Magic Eye arrived quickly and had full clear instructions on how to fit the Eye to the RF2 outlet of your Sky box, it then showed you how to alter your Sky remote so that it would allow output to the Eye.
A co-axial aerial cable is required to run from your first TV to your 2nd TV, also you need a female connector to connect the co-axial cable to the RF2 on the rear of your Sky box.
Mine didn't work to start with despite tight co-axial connectors, I noticed that the connector was bent at one end of the eye and decided that for £3 it was worth trying to straighten out.
A bit of fiddling around with both Magic Eye and co-axial cable and the red light finally came on (you need to have power to your Sky box for it to work). Then it's simply a case of tuning your 2nd TV into Sky, choose a channel that isn't an analogue one for easiness so that you are sure that you have Sky. The picture on the 2nd TV is perfect.
I have only given it 4*'s due to it being flimsy and needing to be bent back into shape but would definately recommend it to anyone with spare co-axial around the house as a cheap way to get Sky into another room.
Digi-senders would be tidier but a lot more expensive.

It works - and don't underestimate the flex
This item is *NOT* as pictured - it has a short 6" flex between the filter box and the TV which is a better design than the standard kind of Sky Eye as shown, as it doesn't strain... Read more

Less expensive than expected
I bought this as my Sky HD box is now in a sideboard under my tv which has closed doors on it. I was expecting something like this to cost around £10-15, so was a little dubious... Read more

This item allows basic Sky Multiroom for a one off cost! It is worth the money spent no matter how much you use it.
