We never tried 2 magic eyes. But as RF2 is the only one that has power, I would think that a magic eye in RF1 wouldn’t work. the sky eye that we used is plugged in to the antenna output of the sky box. You can activate the antenna output to power the sky eye, so that no other power source is needed.
There is actually more than one solution to placing your Sky Box in very close proximity to your wall-mounted TV, and with a large amount of ease too!Established in 2015 in Ipswich, Dynas embarked on a mission to declutter living spaces, offering innovative solutions for modern homes. While our game console wall mounts are a popular choice, our diverse range of wall mount solutions cater to a myriad of needs, ensuring every corner of your home can be organized aesthetically. I am guessing from the post, I will also have to run a cable from the bedroom which would be no problem. Is the cable the normal TV cable or is there specialised ‘Sky TV Cable’?.. possibly a dumb question! It was really easy! The cable trunking is just placed into a recess that we drilled into the wall and plastered over. Then we just fed the cables through the channel to the TV. As for using the sky box in the cupboard, we used this Magic Eye in combination with a coax cable. The cable is fed through the cable trunking and connected to the sky box, the magic eye is then connected to the other end of the cable and positioned on top of the TV. Really straight forward! Wish we’d done it ages ago! our sky box had only 1 RF Output, if I remember correctly. So you can only connect 1 Sky Eye at a time. (even if it had 2 RF outputs, I don’t know if you can put a signal on both at the same time). There are options to split an antenna or HDMI feed though, but I never used any of these, so cannot tell if they work. Might be worth looking into…
Wall-mounted televisions have become the norm now that they come with enormous screens. Resting such flatscreen or curved TVs on a cabinet simply takes too much space, so it only makes sense to mount them flush against the wall. The RF2 output on the rear of most standard Sky and Sky+ boxes is great for controlling the Sky box from other rooms with a remote eye. To do this you need to connect an coaxial cable to it and then run it to extra TV points, you will also need to access the Sky installer menu and switch the RF power supply to on. If you want to run to multiple TV points you will want to install a distribution amplifier that has an "DC pass" facility. This will allow the DCvoltage from the RF2 output on the Sky box to pass through the amplifier and onto all your remote eyes. If you have a digital aerial this can be connected into your Sky box and relayed to the rest of your TV's on the same coaxial cable. If you are a minimalist, chances are you also have your big screen wall-mounted, giving you more living room space for additional home decor. However, if you find that one Sky Q box hooked up to your TV and the dangling wires eyesore, we have a few remedies to share with you in this guide. Where to Put Sky Box with Wall Mounted TV? Congratulations on your new home, Lenny! So glad to hear that we could be some help. Just remember, that (depending on the type) you may need some ventilation for your cable box. That’s exactly what we used to do, Lizzy! It’s amazing what a difference a little gadget for just a few pounds can make. Not sure if the eye we used is compatible with Virgin boxes, but there’ll definitely be one available that is.
Where Do I Put Sky Box When TV Is Wall Mounted?
Regarding your cables, just remember that your TV is still connected to the box with cables, the eye just allows you to put the box somewhere hidden. We particularly find the Goldline Sky box floating shelf appealing due to its minimalistic glossy finish, sturdy column, and two toughened clear glass tops. Both glass surfaces have a large area (350 x 300 mm) and 10 kgs of max load capacity, so you can put your streaming media players and smaller home decors right alongside the regular Sky Q or Sky Q Mini box.
We’ve actually just switched to Virgin, but haven’t updated the eye yet. We’ll try and get it done and keep you updated. If you have just had your TV wall mounted or are planning on having a TV wall mounted and were wondering where you could place your Sky box/satellite TV receiver. Read on for some helpful suggestions on where this can be installed.

This blog has been written with Sky boxes in mind as this is perhaps the most likely piece of equipment that will be connected to your TV. Most of the content is re-usable however and many of the processes described could also be used for finding suitable positions for other AV equipment like Freeview boxes, Freesat boxes, Virgin box, DVD/ Bluray players and games consoles when the TV is wall mounted. I describe this at greater length in an older blog on how to hide AV equipment. I recommend that you read that also when you are done here.If you want to install your Sky Q box behind the TV on the wall I can recommend the HIDEit Sky Q wall mount. You simply fix this to your wall behind the mounted TV position, slot inside and mount the TV over the top hiding the box altogether. Ingenious and no need to worry about the Sky box falling loose. There are different models for Sky 2TB, 1TB and Sky Q mini-boxes. Thank you so much for your kind comment, Eamonn! I completely understand what you’re planning, I’m not sure if it will be possible though. A lot will depend on the type of skybox you have, as I’m not sure the sky eye will work on newer models. I’d love to be more help, but I’m afraid I don’t know what solution would work best for you. You want to hide sky box but still use remote? You’re in the right place to find a practical solution.

Trying to get your sky Q box receiver connected to the closest position and without having annoying wires dangling across the wall is still a challenge for many people these days.

Where to put Sky Q Box with wall mounted tv Elegance Redefined: Elevate your living space with a sophisticated Sky Q box mount that blends seamlessly with your decor. Crafted from premium mild steel, this mount is an epitome of durability and aesthetics. Great idea – I have a small question though – I don’t want to run another TV in a room with this.

As said I only want to use this as a IR extension so the box can stay in the cupboard and we can still change channels on the loving room TV.
