Re: Magic eye for virgin T6 box
It's not possible to use a Sky Magic Eye with a V6 box. (I don't think current Sky boxes have an aerial socket, either). If you really want to feed a second TV from the same box, you'll need an HDMI splitter and a long HDMI cable.
The V6 remote control will work through walls, so you don't need the IR part of the Magic Eye to control your box from another room.
ps. Welcome to the forum.

If you are running 2 TV's you need 3 pieces of kit:
An HDMI splitter.
An HDMI/Scart Digital to Analogue converter
A Scart to RF converter.
Not to mention 3 power sockets to run them.
The other alternative is an HD video sender. More expensive buyt you cut out the analogue conversion requirement.

Why would a HDMI splitter (1in 2 out) not work if both TVs have HDMI ports?

It would, but the OP has his second set connected by co-ax to the antenna input and requested a solution for that setup as he has cables in place.
