Sky box magic eye or equivalent

placeholder · 8 Jan 2017 at 13:19

I'm trying to get a magic eye type thing so that I can put my skybox in a cupboard rather than having it on display under the TV. It's a WiFi skybox I have if that makes any difference. I'm completely confused as to what exactly is need just to do this. There are all manner of cheap cables but I see mixed reviews for different things. Can someone link me to exactly what I need? Many thanks!

then you need something like this

and then the magic eye
can be brought as a pair cheaper than if you brought from sky

Brilliant, thank you very much for your help.

Am I right in saying that these are primarily designed to send the signal to two different tvs but will do what I want to do in terms of keeping the box out of the way?
