There is a lot more on offer & to think about now when it comes to satellite television. It used to be quite simple in as you had Sky or nothing, however the availability of affordable technology has provided so much choice that very few people actually know what they can have.

There is so much to consider now, such as high definition, hard drive recording, multiple tuners, network access, video streaming, electronic programming guides, easy menu navigation, surround sound, the firmware that runs the box,  access to the firmware for update & to make changes, available types of decoding. Further more this is all before you have even decided what satellite you want to view from & if you want free or paid for channels.

But what about the sport, well it generally costs a lot extra for live transmissions if you choose the mainstream monopoly supplier, however there are currently some none UK based European suppliers that UK domestic home users are entitled to subscribe to thanks to recent EU court rulings

Sky Magic Eye Remote Control

The magic eye system allows the viewer to control a Sky box from any room in the house which has a TV with a coaxial cable connection to the sky box. The DIGILINK is 100% compatible with the Sky, Sky+ & Sky HD. The Remote Eye is simply placed on the front of the television set in the other room and relays remote control signals back to the sky box.

If you have a aerial signal supplied to your main sky box vewing area, this signal can also be routed to your remote TV via the magic eye coaxial cable, this will allow you to watch freeview if built into your remote television. The magic eye system can be installed on a single remote TV or or on up to 8 other televisions within your property. Its a great way to add flexibility to your basic home sky & digital freeview set up.

Just use your main sky remote at the location of your other televisions to watch & control your main sky box. Additional sky remotes are now available from many local tesco supermarkets now, as well as many high street electrical outlets.
