Hi
I have four magic eyes set up and working on four TV's
I would like to set one up so the Shy box could go out of the way.
I have tried connecting a magic eye straight to the box RF2and it fails to light up or operate,I have tried three all together
after proving they work but no luck.
I'm assuming the cabling is OK as the other four work and the picture is being transmitted around the house.

Any idea's

It is possible the eye you're trying to use directly into the box is faulty. Have you tried using one of the known working ones from one of the remote TVs to eliminate this?
The other possibility is that you're connecting it the wrong way around.
That may sound silly, but a while ago someone else had the same problem and gave this cause away by mentioning that they were using an adapter between the RF2 output socket and the eye. The "correct" end of the eye should connect directly to the socket.
Are your four remote TVs connected via a powered distribution amplifier? Another possibility if that is the case is that the amplifier is powering the other eyes rather than the Sky box, and in fact the power is off on the RF2 outlet which is why the one plugged directly into it isn't working.
