New sky f5 HD box / magic eye

[tomhick024]

I have a new sky HD f5 box in sitting room and previously had 2 other tvs connected in other rooms via coax/magic eye joined via a tvLink F120 two way amplifier.
When i got the new f5 sky box i intalled a Io link (tvLink) RF out replicator into the IO port on the sky box, which in turn connects to the two way amplifier and in turn coax going to the other rooms.
I have picure\sound in the other rooms but there is no life in either of the magic eyes. Also checked in settings on the main box that RF out is turned on and the channel selected is 47. Would the channel number affect it in any way because i tried other numbers to no avail.
there is other posts on this but no concrete answers.
Any help would be appreciated please.

Thanks

The IO link was designed to be used with the newer DRX595 multiroom boxes which do not have RF built in but do have the same menu system as the official DRX890 so you can enable the RF2 with infared capability for the Magic eye.

The part you are missing is the the IR sensor that would sit in front of the F5's infared adaptor and so feed this back to your magic eye.

The easiest adaptor to buy for non official receivers with Infared capability is the Triax tri-link which has everything you need and is compatible with the F120

Thanks for the link Digicon, I'll have a go off that kit and see how i get on!
I guess they are trying to make it harder to have control from other rooms to intice people to take multiroom subs.
Thanks again.
