Can anyone one advise on the correct distribution amp to use for connecting two extra TV’s to a skybox – both controlled with magic eyes? I have a coax from the RF output on my skybox which runs to my loft, there it joins with a second cable that returns the signal to second TV on the ground floor – this is quite a long run but everything works fine apart from some loss of picture quality. Wanting to boost the signal (& add the option of adding a second magic eye in another room) I added a distribution amp (I have tried 3 different ones now) however when using the amp I loose the ability to control the second TV with the magic eye control? Documentation with the remote eye link states that coax from the R2 should be “in a continuous uninterrupted run” but I assume there must be some way to split\boost the signal & still control the signal with a remote eye? A split on the RF out to two magic eyes without any amp also stops them working…any ideas\info appreciated. | ||

My System: 1.1m Triax Motorised 45e-45w, Raven 60cm fixed, Fortex Zeta PVR, Technomate TM500 | _http://www.screwfix.com/prods/69457/Electrical-Supplies/TV-Range/Amplifiers-Distribution/Labgear-HDU681-S-Home-Distribution-Unit-8-Way I have installed a couple of these and they do the business, they come in a 6 or 12 way as well. They will also allow connection of a TV ariel with masthead amp, and a DAB ariel and fire it all down the one coax line. | ||

All good! Ordered a 4 outlet amp to leave the option of adding extra sets if needed – works fine, assume the issue was with a powered amp conflicting with the 9v from the R2 output….anyway thanks for the help. | ||
