I think you will need an adapter or a cable with the ends that fit into the sky box and into the sky eye. If I remember correctly, the box and the sky eye have the same type of connector, so you need an adapter that both end go into. As we wanted to use the sky eye a bit further away, we used an old coax cable that had the right connections on it. Ultimate Organization: Unleash your living space from the clutches of clutter, with your Sky Q box neatly mounted on the wall. A symphony of sleekness, the Sky Q Box Wall Mount doesn't just hide your device; it enhances it.. Established in 2015 in Ipswich, Dynas embarked on a mission to declutter living spaces, offering innovative solutions for modern homes. While our game console wall mounts are a popular choice, our diverse range of wall mount solutions cater to a myriad of needs, ensuring every corner of your home can be organized aesthetically. our sky box had only 1 RF Output, if I remember correctly. So you can only connect 1 Sky Eye at a time. (even if it had 2 RF outputs, I don’t know if you can put a signal on both at the same time).

the sky eye that we used is plugged in to the antenna output of the sky box. You can activate the antenna output to power the sky eye, so that no other power source is needed. Wherever you decide to install your Sky box you will need the following cables/ connections at least. At the Sky box you will of course need a power cable and satellite cables. (Unless using Sky Q multi-room box)You will also need a lead connecting between your Sky box and your TV. The blog assumes that this will be a HDMI cable but there are other systems out there that allow a HDMI signal to be relayed from your Sky box over Cat5/6 or coaxial cables which I will discuss in an older blog on how to distribute Sky Q around your home. Most of the techniques described in the blog can also be applied to normal Sky or Sky+HD. You may also need to think about a control cable if you’re using an IR remote. This is usually a coax or Cat5/6 cable, but in many instances the HDMI cable itself can be used for this purpose. The big downside of doing things this way is that the picture outputted from an RF2 output is only an analogue quality picture which may look very grainy or unclear on your flat screen TV, especially the larger ones. While this may be fine for your needs, the analogue picture doesn't look as bad on small screens. To combat this I suggest using the RF2 output for controlling the Sky box only and utilising the HDMI output for the best Sky picture quality like Full 1080p HD or 4K. This may mean having to buy extra long HDMI cables, or using HDMI-Cat5/6 extenders or a HD modulator to be able to send the HDMI signal over distance. Sometimes the analogue RF2 TV picture can be improved by moving the Sky RF output channel to another number. The Sky boxes come preset to UHF channel 68 which is not a good channel to be using as it is now part of the frequency band now used for 4Gmobile communications and you could get 4Ginterference on your TV picture. I seen someone commenting in 2017 and saying they were late to this thread and here is me coming in at the end of 2021. We’ve actually just switched to Virgin, but haven’t updated the eye yet. We’ll try and get it done and keep you updated.Hi, I am looking at doing this on my new TV but I would also like to run the same thing on a TV upstairs in the bedroom do you know if its possible to have 2 sky eye’s running from 1 box? (Appreciate you can only watch the one channel). I don’t think that a sky eye would work, as it’s a differnt kind of sensor for the playstation. You’d be surprised at how well the Playstation controller works though – we tested ours and tried controlling the Playstation while standing in another room and it worked well. I’d recommend trying the same with yours and then you’ll know if you can move it to a more hidden place. Just remember that the Playstation gets very warm and needs lots of fresh air and shouldn’t be in a closed cupboard when it’s running. We always leave our cupboard open as wide as possible when the Playstation is on. we still use the HDMI cable for the picture and sound, the coax cable is only there to switch channels, so the picture quality is not impacted in our setup.

I’m not sure what solution would be best as our Sky Box was older and that’s what worked for us. Sorry, we don’t know more. Maybe someone reading your comment can help?

Use a floating shelf

I am guessing from the post, I will also have to run a cable from the bedroom which would be no problem. Is the cable the normal TV cable or is there specialised ‘Sky TV Cable’?.. possibly a dumb question! The RF2 output on the rear of most standard Sky and Sky+ boxes is great for controlling the Sky box from other rooms with a remote eye. To do this you need to connect an coaxial cable to it and then run it to extra TV points, you will also need to access the Sky installer menu and switch the RF power supply to on. If you want to run to multiple TV points you will want to install a distribution amplifier that has an "DC pass" facility. This will allow the DCvoltage from the RF2 output on the Sky box to pass through the amplifier and onto all your remote eyes. If you have a digital aerial this can be connected into your Sky box and relayed to the rest of your TV's on the same coaxial cable. Thank you so much for your kind comment, Eamonn! I completely understand what you’re planning, I’m not sure if it will be possible though. A lot will depend on the type of skybox you have, as I’m not sure the sky eye will work on newer models. I’d love to be more help, but I’m afraid I don’t know what solution would work best for you. If you have just had your TV wall mounted or are planning on having a TV wall mounted and were wondering where you could place your Sky box/satellite TV receiver. Read on for some helpful suggestions on where this can be installed. I have used all of these suggestions at one time or another so hopefully it will help you decide the best place to put your Sky box when TV is wall mounted.
