If I put one of the sky+ leads from the dish into the tv would that work (I'm thinking a Y connecter in the lead with one branch going to sky+ box andhttps://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/23468938/freesat-alongside-sky?post_id=419144670#419144670Googling now RDB.

When the magic eye is set up on a normal Sky box or Sky+ box then the RF power has to be set to ON in the box menus, this providesTue, 17 Nov 2009 08:54:56 -0600https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/23468938/freesat-alongside-sky?post_id=419144598#419144598PS Would a magic eye work if the coax cable from the sky box was attached to a signal booster and another cable left the signal booster to join the magic eye which in turn is connected to the second tv?Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:18:15 -0600https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/23468938/freesat-alongside-sky?post_id=419144590#419144590Cheers dogform. It probably wouldn't be any great problem to attach an hdmi cable to the old coax one and pull it through but I take it there isn't an hdmi version of the sky magic eye?Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:04:11 -0600https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/23468938/freesat-alongside-sky?post_id=419144574#419144574Feck,Yes, you need an F connector at each end of the cable.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:52:36 -0600https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/23468938/freesat-alongside-sky?post_id=419144566#419144566Feck,No, the old coax cable will not be able to send an HD signal, for that you need either an HDMI cable or a set of 3 Component leads and an audio lead. The single HDMI cable does the equivalent of the 3 Component leads and the audio cable.All SkyTue, 17 Nov 2009 06:51:31 -0600https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/23468938/freesat-alongside-sky?post_id=419144562#419144562* would it be able to show thiat programme in hd despite being relayed the signal through an old coax cable?Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:16:09 -0600https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/23468938/freesat-alongside-sky?post_id=419144558#419144558In my sky box I've got a second coax cable that goes to a tv in another bedroom. I'm now wondering if it's worth it changing the lnb and laying more cable as the second tv will always be reliant on that coax cable for sky content unless I go for skyTue, 17 Nov 2009 05:51:25 -0600
