Magic Eye not working

murraypjm

Had a tvLINK eye operating a second tv perfectly. Decided to put a tv in bedroom and have sky tv there too. I split the cable going to the 2nd tv and put a 3 way splitter on it, 1 output going to 2nd tv and 1 output going to bedroom tv and 1 spare. I can get sky on 2nd and bedroom tv but the magic eye does not work now. Any ideas?

What kind of splitter did you use? Some splitters do not allow power to pass through them making them no good for sky eyes.

Konic electronic 4 way splitter, 5-2400 mghz

Any suggestions as to the splitter I should use?

I'd recommend a Johansson 4 Way Splitter if you want a 4 way one. I presume you already have all the f-connectors you'll need.

You should make sure that the lack of DC power pass is the problem though first where did you get it?

Actually a friend put the system in

Don't use a splitter, use a distribution amplifier with integrated bypass that allows the tv link eyes to operate.

The best option might be a Antiference 4 Room Line Powered Amp, its powered by the sky box and is nice and small. A passive splitter might struggle if the cable runs are too long.
