Ok new to the forum so hello.......

Im looking to get a Solo box but have no idea what to but.

I have Sky and im keeping it in my main living room.

I have muti room which i want to replace the new box with.

Questions....

Where is the best place to buy from?
Do i have to pay someone a subscription for 12 months?
Can i run a magic eye to another TV?

Thanks

no good to me really if i cant run a magic eye.... is there any other boxes where this can be done?

[rhosj]

Magic eye don't work with these boxes. You are better off using Ethernet over HDMI, miles better than any rf/magic eye.

It's to get tv from my living room to my kitchen
I have no way of setting up another box in my kitchen

Been told you can buy this and it will work???

That is the omnilink and it will work fine for you. It is very similar to the Sky magic eye system, but needs a power supply (supplied) and you will also need to get an RF converter (an extra purchase) to feed an AV signal into the omnilink. So all in quite an expense - there might be cheaper methods of achieving same result.

As to your question about replacing multiroom. Methods that can be discussed here - it's not possible with the Solo. Even if you went for a Solo2, your Sky card won't work fully as it will have been paired with you Sky box.

You can buy a cheap Android box install vu+ player app and stream to it from your receiver (make sure you buy a twin tuners receiver so you can still watch something on the receiver at the same time.
