Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: SLx Magic Eye IR for Sky - Good little gadget Comment: 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. Customer Rating:* Summary: IT'S ALL A LIE!!! Comment: I purchased the Magic Eye because it said it works on sky+, but when tried it doesnt, tried on my friends sky+ and i get the same problem. the seller is lying just to sell his product, i wudnt buy anything from here if i was you. Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant little gadget Comment: When I saw the price of this little gadget on Amazon I thought why not, it's cheap as chips. It arrived 2 days later with a SKY HD remote bought separately and it is a revelation. It's simply great! For me it was just a case of setting the Sky box to power it and plug it in. Simple and for 3 quid, I cannot think of anything else I've bought in ages that is better value for money. Thoroughly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Works Perfectly Comment: An excellent item, good value too. Works with my Sky HD box perfectly, far cheaper than any other and has good quality RF connectors. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice Little Gadget Comment: Other reviewers were positive about this product, so I thought I'd try it as I was unsure how these gadgets worked. The instructions are clear and it does pay to read them especially if you have an aerial/signal splitter on the cable coming out of the back of your Sky box to your second TV (as I had). What doesn't come across in the picture is how small it is. It is very compact. It also comes with a self-adhesive sticker and I stuck mine to the back of the mains plug. It is barely visible behind the second TV but is fully responsive to the infra-red signal from the remote control unit. Also you can switch the Sky box to standby mode from the second TV - saves a walk and saves power/money. Others may be cheaper from non-Amazon sellers but watch out for the delivery cost. More Reviews
