Vu Solo and Magic Eye

[Robinsx200]

Hi there. I'm very new to this and have just installed my vu box in place of my Sky box. Previously I had a RF cable running to my bedroom with a Magic Eye that enabled me to watch and ALSO change channels from the bedroom. I have bought an Rf modulator complete with 9V output for the Magic Eye. The Magic Eye shows the red power light to show it is working, and the picture is through to my second TV. However I cannot get the vu remote control to change channel through the Magic Eye. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please bear in mind I'm not overly familiar with all the technical terms yet, but everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks in advance ☺

This has been covered many times. Sorry to be blunt, but use the search function.

You need an omnilink, costs about £20. Same principle as Sky magic eye and it works on VU Boxes. But you also need an rf modulator which adds to the cost.

It means your existing VU remote will work perfectly, but you get a low quality picture on your bedroom TV.

There are other ways to get a better picture, but every method has drawbacks.
