There are also IR receivers that go between the aerial lead and socket on
the second TV that can send commands from the Sky remote back to the box.

For the Magic eye to work, it needs a DC power supply which the Sky box
sends down the aerial lead.  You have to go into the engineers menu on the
Sky box to turn this on (which menu depends on your box, but it=92s easy to
find instructions online).   One thing to note is that wall plates with
FM/TV sockets will block the DC power supply,so you=92ll need sockets with
=
a
simple TV only output and no other gubbins inside.
