    How are you viewing pictures form the dm800?

    My setup I have my Dm800 in a cupboard out the way and I ran my HDMI cable in the wall and up to the tv.

    In order to change the channels I bought a TV link with PSU.

    This allows you to add a magic eye via coaxial cable as a RF extender and will power the magic eye.

    If you need the RF to give a video signal then you will need to get a RF modulator too.

            Say you wanted to view the dm800 in another room via a coaxial.

            The you would need a rf out on the dm800, which it doesnt have.

            So you need to plug a scart or phone cable in to a rf modulator to give a out signal on the coaxial cable. This also would power a magic eye.

            I didnt need a RF modulator as I was geting my pictures from a 10m HDMI cable and I only needed to control the magic by powering it via tvlink with PSU

                How are you getting a picture from the dm800 to the main tv?

                Are you also wanting to view the same dm800 on another tv?

                    Okif you want the magic eye and to from dm800 on 2 tvs then you want the TVlink with PSU and a RF Modulator

                    DM800
                    >>>>>>>>Scart>>>>>Rf Mod>>>>Coaxial>>>>>2nd TV

                        no really, Rf Mod only ?10 then tv link plus on ?30 and getting a 2nd box only solves 2nd tv not magic eye issue.
