hi all is there a freesat receiver out there which I can use a magic eye with so I can watch it in another room, just like I have with my sky+

thanks

No, as the Freesat boxes don't have an RF out. The main reason they are used for Sky is that it is a paid for service, so it saves paying for multiroom.

Freesat is free, so the best way to watch in another room is to get another Freesat box, I think they were £29.99 in Argos recently for a cheap one. You would need to run a new cable from the dish though.
