sky magic eyes

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to 'T' off an existing magic eye link already going from the Rf2 of a sky box to a bedroom, so 2 bedrooms can have a magic eye each????

Yes but rather than T off using splitters you should use a distribution amplifier. It should be one with a DC bypass to let power from the syy bx through to the magic eye (it may just say it's compatible with magic eye on the box).

As an alternative some distribution amps provide a DC supply on the RF outputs for magic eye(s) rather than passing through the DC from the sky box.

Edit: Using passive splitters may work but using a distribution amplifier is the "correct" way and may give a better picture quality.
