    I have sky in two rooms of my house downstairs. One of the rooms is directly below my bedroom. I'd like to watch sky on my LCD in my room by connecting it to the room underneath. What is cheapest way to connect the box to bedroom tv for watching at night. Would a long scart or hdmi cable work with one of those magic eyes?

    Magic eyes work with coax RF2 only.

    You could get a scart or HDMI in addition to the coax if you want a better picture, but the magic eye needs the coax.

    If it's a small LCD, I'd go coax only.

    The other option is a video sender.

    Cheers for your reply, would a 2.4ghz sender offer reasonably good quality ? It would only be transmitting less than 10metres through bedroom floor/livingroom ceiling?

    Every house is different with wireless video senders, some work fine in some houses in others they are rubbish. If you can run a coax and use of a magic eye, much more reliable method.
