been looking at this online at argos today, can anyone shed any light on this magic eye malarky. if you have a telly running upstairs in your bedroom from your box downstairs, does the magic eye enable you to change channels upstairs, or would you have to get up and go downstairs to turn it over? apparently you can(as it says) run up to 4 tvs from one box. 46 quid.

Yes, you can change channel from each TV with a magic eye. All TV's are limited to the same channel though.

thanks for that rick, i know you have to watch whatever is on via the main box, but that is ideal for us. cos we normally watch the telly in bed anyway,.... unfortunately ive just took out sky multiroom, but i think you can cancel after a month, so ial be getting one of these at 46 pund. cheaper than the 120 quid sky want each and every year.

if you only want sky in 1 other room you all you need is magic eye, extra remote and cable to link it to sky box, much cheaper than 4 way kit.
