I have fitted my Sky box under one of the bed lockers and bought a Magic Eye to place at the foot of the drawer unit to change channels.

I have plugged the unit in via RF2 as instructions and chained the RF outlets to on at the Sky setup on the box, but it's not working?
Not even the red light comes on at the at the unit where it plugs into RF2.
There is another outlet below RF2 which shows 9v, I haven't tried this as instructions say use RF2?

Can anyone help?

You mentioned your socket states 9v?

It is always on RF2 AFAIK?

Try you magic eye in the one that states 9v, and if it doesn't work, have you been via the installed menu to switch the 9v supply on?

I use a magic eye at home and mine came with a SCART gizmo that fits in line between my DVD/SCART socket on the SKY+ box and my Video Recorder, which is obsolete of course. I use HDMI on the telly in the lounge and SCART on the one in the bedroom which allows me to control the SKY box from there if that makes sense..
