Thanks JB. Continuous cable. Feedback from this and other sites suggest ch68 default would not work, further suggesting a default change to a 30-40rang and a retune. I am currently retuning ch35, but to no avail. What is odd, is that when the io link came o plugged in and the magic eye worked fine, but for some unknown reason the light went out a week ago and I can't get it back. Any further advice greatly appreciated. If I can't do it myself I'll have to pay for sky to come back as the real reason the children have a sky hd box in their room is so I can watch sports/films in bed when they're in bed!!!

jb38: thanks for taking the time and trouble to post a comprehensive reply. Problem now solved, new F connectors fitted both ends, io link with psu, magic eye once again illuminated. It seems a strand of the copper cable caused a short. Thanks again, N.

Hi. Thank goodness there are folk on this thread that seem to know what they're talking about. I have sky hd box in the children's playroom downstairs and magic eye upstairs. I bought an io link to get an rf2 feed, bought another io link with psu as I thought that was the problem. Bought another magic eye as I thought that was the problem, now I'm making my way through resetting the default 68 from ch21-68. I'm still not getting a light on the magic eye. Plugged it in direct to io link and it works fine/light comes on. Reseated connectors at both ends. I get the channel but can't change over as the light on the magic eye will not illuminate ... Help please before I chuck the whole bloody thing out the window! I'm systematically starting from 21 this afternoon...
