jb38: The LED doesn't illuminate at all when its connected to the new TV, wether the set is switched on or not. On the old TV the LED is illuminated all the time.

jb38: The signal booster I'm using is a tvLINK T140 and I'm not using a separate power supply for it. The magic eyes are tvLINKS.
I swapped the links over. The 'non working' one worked ok in a different location, LED was showing. The 'proved to be working' one didn't work in the faulty location. The LED didn't illuminate when it was connected to the TV wether the power was on or not. When this one is connected the other links LED's are illuminated.
Do you think I'm dealing with a short circuit situation on the cable/plugs to this partucular location? If that's the case I cant understand why the link works ok when it's connected to the old TV.

jb38: Checked the connections at each end of the suspect cable run, all found to be ok. Magic eye tried again, still not wanting to peform. Noted your comments re the Magic Eyes just working and no more so purchased a Marmitek Powermid XL, connect up, and it worked first time so I'll be sticking with it thank you very much!
Thanks for all your help with this problem.

jb38: Marmitek kit is working fine up to now. New TV is a Samsung LE19D450. I think I got that right, I'm not at home just now so that's from memory. Just to let you know that I signed up for updates from the site and I find each e-mail gripping reading, carry on the good work!

Magic Eye Problem
I have a sky+HD box and connected to the RF2 output socket is a tvLINK 4 way signal booster. The power supply to the RF socket is ON, and is working. Connected to the booster are TV sets in another 2 locations in the house, these have magic eyes fitted and allow me to control the sky box. I recently changed one of the TV's in one of these locations and now the magic eye at that position wont control the box. I have swapped it back to the old TV and the magic eye still works fine. The LED on the eye is lit as soon as it's connected to the old TV, but when it's connected to the new one, it's not. I've retuned the RF output channel on the box, carried out analogue tuning on the new TV and I get a great picture but still no control from the magic eye. Can anyone suggest what I do next please!
