Sky Magic Eye Installation Kit

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 your Sky Eye directly off Sky Box

• 1.Ensure that the sky box is turned on connected to the tv
• 2.Connect the sky eye to the back to the 'RF 2' outlet on the back of the sky box
• 3.Press the 'services' button the sky remote
• 4.Select 'system setup'
• 5.Press ‘0′, ‘1′ & ‘Select' in quick succession
• 6.From the Installer menu select ‘RF Outputs'
• 7.Turn the RF output setting to ‘ON' and exit saving settings
• 8.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.
• 9.Select ‘RF Outputs'
• 10.Exit out all the way and check to see does the sky eye now work.
• 11.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 in the 2nd Room

• 1.Run a satellite cable (connect an existing cable) into the 'RF 2' outlet on the back of the sky box
• 2.This cable will need to be terminated with a Coax connector  and a Coax joiner
• 3.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
• 4.Terminate the other end of the cable in the second room with a Coax connector
• 5.Push the coax connector into the sky Eye
• 6.Push the sky into the back of the television
