    Mod, please move if in incorrect forum.
    Basically had sky in my living room with hdmi cable going directly from box into tv. Last week got this removed as wanted no wires showing so have got sky magic eye and sky box now in comms cabinet in another room. As advised by aerial guy hd quality did drop a little which I don’t mind but there is this ticking noise from tv which does bother me. Can this be fixed?
    Hope that’s explained ok.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Do you have an amp and surround sound system ?


    I had the a clicking noise every 30 or 40 seconds, but then i flipped a random switch on the back of the sub woofer.. and the clicking went away.

    Is it a wireless magic eye?
    Maybe there is interference from the wifi.....

    Sorry for the delay. If it's wireless it could be that your WiFi is interfering with it. Are there different channels on the magic eye? If so, select a different one.

    I suggest changing the output RF channel of the Sky box and then retuning the TV's.

    You could also try bypassing the eye and having the coaxial cable go directly into the TV just to rule out the eye being the issue.
