Hi all,
I am planning an installation and need your help / advice. We are moving into a house that currently has the Sky box in the study connected by long HDMI through the wall to the main TV in the lounge, controlled by magic eye, and shared via an RF DA in the loft to bedrooms and the kitchen, complete with magic eye controls in each. Obviously this is only analogue SD / not great quality and means everyone has to watch the same programme.
I would like to use 2x HD boxes so that different programmes can be watched in different rooms, IE wife watching dull period drama in the lounge, me watching footy in the spare bedroom. However, I am not allowed to drill any holes an the newly decorated walls or run 'unsightly' wires. So here is what I am thinking:
Put 2 Sky HD boxes in the study, connected to the 4LMB dish on the wall just outside. Connect each Sky box HDMI to a Juicebox sender to deliver HDMI around the ring main and stick a receiver at each point I want to watch HD Sky. I think this will work but how will I control the two boxes remotely? Can I use magic eyes on both boxes or will they intefere with each other as they share the same RF network? Even if they will work alongside each other I am going to have issues with having 2x magic eyes seeing the same remote IR signal as the remotes are not tethered to individual Sky boxes.
Any suggestions as to the best way to achieve this would be gratefuly received.
Thanks
