    Hi,
    Im getting SKY+ and would like to use magic eye upstairs in the bedroom to view via RF. Is it possible to setup RF1 and RF2 on different channels, combine them and send both on a single coax to the bedroom

    Thanks,
    Gx

    I don't know Griffinx I wouldn't think so but it's not something i've ever heard of or tried.

    RF1 and RF2 are fed from the same modulator. The only difference is that RF2 is also a "magic eye" input and can provide 9 volts DC to power it.

    A Sky+ Digibox can receive two programmes simultaneously but it has only one output circuit which feeds Scart, S-Video and the RF modulator.

    Thats interesting.. so the 2nd digital input is used solely for recording to hard disk and isnt accessible anywhere else?

    A Sky box can only decode one channel at a time, the 'Recorded channel' is stored as a bit stream and decoded when you decide to view it.
