Maplins maybe your best bet if theres one nearby, they do tend to be on the expensive side though according to some posters on this forum.

That,s interesting, could you elaborate a bit more.
Is it just a cable from rf2 going through a metal splitter to 2 magic eyes in different rooms and they are both working perfectly.

does the magic eye allow
1. the sat box to be turned on or off
or
2. the ability to change channel
or
both

I put the main feed into the metal splitter along with bedroom 1 and then plugged the two way metal splitter into my 4 way amp, now I have tv in all bedrooms and can control the sky box via the magic eye in bedroom 1..
