    Have set up sky box to tv in second room using rf out and magic eye
    What type of coaxial cable should I be looking to get to limit the interference on second tv ?

    Currently every time a phone is used it causes crackling etc
    The current cable was a cheap one and says 75 ohm 3c2v on it
    I assume the shorter the better as well
    This one is 5m and would o it need half that

    I don't know if it's the same issue but I had a similar problem and I changed the frequency/ channel on the sky box, no problem since.

    Interesting
    It’s on channel 68 at moment I think
    Would you mind checking what channel you changed the output to

    Phone interference for sure, pick a channel below C60 (actually, better still, below C50 to allow for future 5G selloff) that's vacant.

    Take note of the channels your Saorview transmitter is on, keep away from those

    Tried 55 and still a bit(not much ) of interference
    Dropped down to 35 and it’s perfect !

    New Saorview frequencies below UHF 49 get switched on Sept 4th and will coexist with the old frequencies for a further 6 months, if interference reappears around this time check for a free UHF channel from UHF 21 to 48.
