FAO anyone with Sky digital.
If you have the system set up to view Sky in another room (RF2) and fancy a Magic eye- TV Link try the following.
http://www.avukltd.com and have a look at the SLX-Link.
Cracking value at £9.95 (Inc P&P) full instructions included.
Ordered ours Mon 23:00 hrs received Wed 08:30 hrs, pretty speedy.
The cheapest I had seen previously was £12.99.

Does this also work with Sky+ ?
Thanks in advance
Going by the site they also have a package of the SLX-Link and a Sky+ remote, so I think it should work with Sky+. Drop them a mail at troppusremotsuc[at]moc.dtlkuva and they should give you better information than I can.

How long is the wire? I gotta bring it all the way upstairs and from the looks of it it dont look that long. How does it work?

Full instructions are supplied with the unit.
Basically this is what you would do.
1) If you have not done so already run a co-axial cable from where the Sky box is sited to the second room/ TV you wish to view Sky etc from.
2) Connect the SLX link unit to the RF in on the second TV.
3) Connect the co-axial to the SLX unit
4) Connect the cp-axial to the Sky box RF2 output.
5) Press Services on the Sky remote
6) Press 4 for System Set Up.
7) Press 0 then 1 then Enter, you should be in an installer menu.
8) Select RF outlets
9) SET RF outlets to ON
10) That should be that.
The cable from the Magic eye to the SLX unit is roughly 400 mm.

GRANDATA.CO.UK HAVE THIS WITH SKY REMOTE FOR
£13+ 1 PLUS VAT.NEXT DAY DELIVERY.
HAS ANYONE ORDERED FROM THIS COMPANY BEFORE.
ARE THEY RELIABLE.
WHY DO THEY HAVE REMOTE AND TV LINK SET FOR £16 + VAT and ALSO £13+VAT for exactly the same set?????
Help needed. thanks.
Yes I have ordered from them very reliable very fast service been around for about 20 odd years the difference is one is a sky branded link adaptor the other one is made by SLX which is as good as the sky one I have used the SLX one before the remotes are the sky ones.

Further to Ravimann`s post.
I have used both the Sky and SLX links and TBH the SLX one is better built than the Sky one.
I have had two Sky ones over the last couple of years and the aerial input (from RF2 on the Digi-box) connections broke loose on them both. No such problem with the SLX model even though I move it to which ever room it is going to be used in.

....anyone care to explain the benefits (in simple terms!) what this/these bit(s) of kit do without me trawling through pages of nonsense?
