Fit a skylink compatible amplifier to give as many feeds as you want.

You plug the wire that comes from the Sky box output into the powered splitters input. Each of the outputs feeds a seperate TV each with a magic eye if you wish. You can control the sky box from any TV you connect that has a magic eye.

so how do i connect the 3rd tv ?????

if i do what you say theres only 1 wire that goes into the eye, you are saying i need to unplugg this then put in the splitter then plug back in my tv , but i still need a wire to go into the second splitter , so what wire do i need.

plus 1 other thing , looking at the splitter it looks like screw in wire the ones you put direct into your sky box from the dish , the wire what goes into my magic eye upstaitrs is like an old tv ariel.

i am sorry about this for being very thick.

This section here should explain

http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/split.htm

and depending on amplifier/splitter you may, as stated:
"To connect it to your Digibox you'll need a COLCM TV coupler and a Lead with an "F" plug on one end and a male IEC TV plug on the other"

Right get a SLX Skylink amplifier like the ones linked to. Connect it to a power socket.

Unplug the existing cable from the magic eye and plug it into the socket marked in. Now using a Belling Lee (normal old TV aerial) connection with a female plug on one end and a male on the other re-connect the magic eye. This should now work as it did before. You can use a simple coupler to convert male to female (or just plug the eye into one of the output sockets)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-X-Antif...item3a6fce7534

Using a second coupler like the above connect your extension cable to where the remote TV is, connect a magic eye to this and it's output to the TV. Tune it's analogue tuner to the Sky channel. Now both TV.s can watch the Sky box and control it.
Now connect a second cable
