I think you will need an adapter or a cable with the ends that fit into the sky box and into the sky eye. If I remember correctly, the box and the sky eye have the same type of connector, so you need an adapter that both end go into. As we wanted to use the sky eye a bit further away, we used an old coax cable that had the right connections on it. we connected the television through a HDMI cable and we only use the Sky Eye to change the channels on the Sky Box. Using a Magic Eye wont affect you watching HD. We never tried 2 magic eyes. But as RF2 is the only one that has power, I would think that a magic eye in RF1 wouldn’t work. Established in 2015 in Ipswich, Dynas embarked on a mission to declutter living spaces, offering innovative solutions for modern homes. While our game console wall mounts are a popular choice, our diverse range of wall mount solutions cater to a myriad of needs, ensuring every corner of your home can be organized aesthetically. All the solutions above will be suitable if you have a curved TV that is wall-mounted. However, if you’re a crafty person, you might explore using either velcro or cable ties to attach the box into the mount or even into the TV itself.
Sorry Sean, we’ve just moved and no longer have the sky box and I’m afraid that I can’t remember how long the cable was. The big downside of doing things this way is that the picture outputted from an RF2 output is only an analogue quality picture which may look very grainy or unclear on your flat screen TV, especially the larger ones. While this may be fine for your needs, the analogue picture doesn't look as bad on small screens. To combat this I suggest using the RF2 output for controlling the Sky box only and utilising the HDMI output for the best Sky picture quality like Full 1080p HD or 4K. This may mean having to buy extra long HDMI cables, or using HDMI-Cat5/6 extenders or a HD modulator to be able to send the HDMI signal over distance. Sometimes the analogue RF2 TV picture can be improved by moving the Sky RF output channel to another number. The Sky boxes come preset to UHF channel 68 which is not a good channel to be using as it is now part of the frequency band now used for 4Gmobile communications and you could get 4Ginterference on your TV picture.We’ve actually just switched to Virgin, but haven’t updated the eye yet. We’ll try and get it done and keep you updated. we still use the HDMI cable for the picture and sound, the coax cable is only there to switch channels, so the picture quality is not impacted in our setup.
Hi, I am looking at doing this on my new TV but I would also like to run the same thing on a TV upstairs in the bedroom do you know if its possible to have 2 sky eye’s running from 1 box? (Appreciate you can only watch the one channel).If there is a cupboard or cabinet near your TV position this could provide the perfect place to install your Sky box or satellite receiver.You could place the Sky box away from view and shut the door on it never to look at it again. If you want to keep the cabinet doors shut you could just sit the controlling infra red remote eye just on the outside of the cabinet so you will still be able to control it. If you're using a Bluetooth remote, this will probably not be necessary. This blog has been written with Sky boxes in mind as this is perhaps the most likely piece of equipment that will be connected to your TV. Most of the content is re-usable however and many of the processes described could also be used for finding suitable positions for other AV equipment like Freeview boxes, Freesat boxes, Virgin box, DVD/ Bluray players and games consoles when the TV is wall mounted. I describe this at greater length in an older blog on how to hide AV equipment. I recommend that you read that also when you are done here. Always happy to help if we can. I don’t think this solution is possible on a Virgin box. What you can possibly do is connect your box via Ethernet to your router and use your smartphone and a Virgin app to control it.
If you have just had your TV wall mounted or are planning on having a TV wall mounted and were wondering where you could place your Sky box/satellite TV receiver. Read on for some helpful suggestions on where this can be installed. I have used all of these suggestions at one time or another so hopefully it will help you decide the best place to put your Sky box when TV is wall mounted. Regarding your cables, just remember that your TV is still connected to the box with cables, the eye just allows you to put the box somewhere hidden.
Where Do I Put Sky Box When TV Is Wall Mounted?

I like things to work without seeing (or knowing) how it’s done. I like things to be tidy, neat and done in a particular way. Most importantly though, I like to hide things. It was really easy! The cable trunking is just placed into a recess that we drilled into the wall and plastered over. Then we just fed the cables through the channel to the TV. As for using the sky box in the cupboard, we used this Magic Eye in combination with a coax cable. The cable is fed through the cable trunking and connected to the sky box, the magic eye is then connected to the other end of the cable and positioned on top of the TV. Really straight forward! Wish we’d done it ages ago! Ultimate Organization: Unleash your living space from the clutches of clutter, with your Sky Q box neatly mounted on the wall.
