agree with you on that one too, great for old boxes, useless for tivo.

by the time you rack up the costs, a powermid would do it wirelessly, or a digisender.

Ok, back home and did a bit of searching.

Looks like I was right and you CAN use TiVo with Magic Eye. These guys appear to have tested my theory and got it working.

They refer to the same "magic eye", hundreds of thousands of people use, including me. It was supplied by my aerial guy and is the same type of magic eye that can be bought at all good stores all over the UK.

Sorted.
