How to install a sky magic eye

Sky eyes are very useful and inexpensive but they are also prone to give a lot of problems. The nub of the issue is that the eye works off a 9V power supply given by the sky box and everything needs to be set up just right if the eye is work properly.

Stage 1: Install and test sky eye directly off sky box

Ensure that the sky box is turned on connected to the tv

Connect the sky eye to the back to the ‘RF 2′ outlet on the back of the sky box

Press the 'services' button the sky remote
 
Select 'system setup'

Press ‘0′, ‘1′ & ‘Select' in quick succession

From the Installer menu select ‘RF Outputs'
 
Turn the RF output setting to ‘ON' and exit saving settings
 
Also you can adjust the RF channel on which the sky signal will be broadcast
 
If you are combining an aerial input into the RF output this is critical

if the RF frequency is already being using by a TV channel it will cause interference

Avoid this by selecting an alternative channel number from 21-69 – (68 is the default)

I generally set 35 as my default but it depends on what your local transmitter is.

Select ‘RF Outputs'

Exit out all the way and check to see does the sky eye now work.
 
The LED on your Sky eye should now be Lighting

This step has verified that:

Your sky eye is in working order

That your sky box is capable of supplying the necessary 9V signal to power the eye

Stage 2: Install Sky Eye is the 2nd Room

Run a satellite cable (connect an existing cable) into the ‘RF 2′ outlet on the back of the sky box

This cable will need to be terminated with a Coax connector  and a Coax joiner

In the attic join the cable coming from the sky box to the cable feeding the addition TV

using low loss F-connectors (qty 2) and an F joiner (qty1)

for multi-room use 2 way or 4 way Link amplifiers or Distribution amplifers

Terminate the other end of the cable in the second room with a Coax connector

Push the coax connector into the Sky Eye

Push the sky into the back of the television

Tune the TV into the correct frequency i.e. Channel 68 (default) which corresponds to 847 MHz

Place the sensor part sky eye facing towards the seat which will be used by viewers

Use sky remote to change channels on the remote sky box.

INSTALLATION COMPLETE !!
