Are both RF outputs on Sky box powered? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I have 2 coaxial cables running from my Sky box RF outputs to 2 bedrooms. The RF power setting is on. However I can only get the magic eye to work in bedroom 1. The magic eye in the other bedroom does not work. The 2nd eye is not faulty as it works in bedroom one if I swap them round. Any ideas why neither eye will work in bedroom 2? I don't have a booster - could that be why? Sorry I am new to this and not technically minded with this sort of stuff! I'm not sure if only one of the RF outputs has power to it? Many thanks, Mark.

no only out put no two
if you want the magic eye to work on more than one TV you will need some thing like this

you can get two way and four way these ones are powered up by the sky box its self

Grax Image
but you will still have the same sky channel on all the TVs
you carnt have different channels from sky on at the same time
