    Lads,

    I've heard talk of being able to enable voltage on the 2nd RF out on the sky digibox - how do u do it?

    Press Services, 4, 0, 1, Select. Then choose RF Outlets option. This lets you toggle power to RF2 and what UHF channel the box is using.

    I think the voltage thing is for controlling a channel changer or something like that, and should not be switched on unless you have the device.

    Yeah - thats what I'm driving at. Saw a product called a 'Digi-eye' I think in my local Dixons. Anyone have any experience with them, either good or bad?

    Think they retail for about 20 or 30 quid a go.

    I have a digi-eye and they are great. A second remote control is also handy to have for it.

    Does it have to take voltage from the coax or can it take an external input from a little transformer (9v or 12v I presume?)

    Hi, It needs a coax connection because it has to relay the remote signal back to the box. You can see a picture of it at

    Thanks Tony - yup guessed it relayed back via the coax alright. But my query was really about the power supply to the digi-eye. Looks like it has to get power from the coax (as well as using it to relay back to the digibox). Doesn't look like theres any external power input?

    What I wanted to do was to take the 2nd RF out feed from the digibox and feed it back onto the internal coax network so I could get the the decoded signal upstairs. But I don't want to feed voltage on the internal coax network (presume its not gonna do my TVs any good if I do!). But I still want to control the digibox from upstairs. So my question still stands - can the digieye take an external power input?
