This beautifully crafted gizmo looks like the kind of thing you might find in Diagon Alley. The difference is you use it to control your telly, Sky, digibox, stereo or any other infra-red device via various abracadabra-ish gestures. Simply swish, whirl and flick to change channels, adjust volume and much more.
Totally button-free, the Wand can ‘learn’ up to 13 infrared codes from your existing remote(s) and transmit them when you perform one of 13 predefined gestures. You can assign various functions to various moves: flicks to turn on and off; spins to control volume; big swishes to mute and so on.
To add to its supernatural nature, the Wand also features a ‘heartbeat’ in the form of various pulses that confirm gesture recognition and tell you when the batteries are low. It even goes into sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity and ‘wakes’ when you pick it up. Gorgeously packaged in a smart presentation box, the Wand is set to become the remote control of choice for any gadgeteer with Potter-esque aspirations. So don’t be a Muggle, get ordering. It’s totally wizard!

* Requires 2x AAA batteries (not included)
Dimensions:
* Wand measures 35.5cm(L) x 2cm(D)

Modes:

* Sleep mode – the wand will enter a low-power sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity.
* Learning mode – you can teach it one or more new codes for any of the possible gestures.

Product Description

It includes the new Zone 2 Raven Sky satellite dish and the latest compact Zinwell Sky quad LNB, along with brackets and four bolts for wall mounting (if you want to pole mount it you need the V-bolt which is an optional extra). The Zone 2 dish is larger for better reception and general performance. The LNB is fitted with the new bracket for this dish which holds it securely with no “wobble”. The 20m of Twin cable is CT63, highest quality approved cable, along with 4 F-connectors, 20 double cable clips and 12″ of self amalgamating tape for a final waterproofed finish. We also include a wall cover plate and hole tidy grommet for a professional finish. The kit components are matched for guaranteed performance. We also include our Satgear alignment instructions and dish setup diagram. The Zone 2 dish is designed for use with the UK Astra 28 satellitle in Scotland and Ireland, and used in England and Wales it will pick up other European satellites – if you want to receive those channels. It is ideal for upgrading to Sky+ or Freesat where you want to provide extra capacity to watch up to four channels at a time on dual-tuner boxes (Sky+ or Humax HDR Freesat+) or just to add additional receivers.

Product Description
This kit provides everything you need to connect up your Sky digibox or Freesat receiver. It includes the NEW Mk4 Raven Sky minidish (size 59cm width x 43cm height) and the new style Sky compact quad LNB, along with brackets and four bolts for wall mounting (if you want to pole mount it you need the V-bolt which is an optional extra). The new dish is slightly larger for better reception and general performance. It also has pre-built brackets, so you don’t need to bolt them together – they just fold out and snap into place. The LNB is fitted with the new bracket for this dish which holds it securely with no “wobble”. The 20m of Twin cable is CT63, highest quality approved cable, along with 4 F-connectors, 20 double cable clips and 12″ of self amalgamating tape for a final waterproofed finish. We also include a wall cover plate and hole tidy grommet for a professional finish. The kit components are matched for guaranteed performance. We also include our Satgear alignment instructions and dish setup diagram. The dish is a Zone 1 dish, not guaranteed to work in Scotland or Ireland, although the new larger size makes it better than the previous minidish, so it should be fine for most UK locations. It is ideal for upgrading to Sky+ or Freesat where you want to provide extra capacity to watch up to four channels at a time on dual-tuner boxes (Sky+ or Humax HDR Freesat+) or just to add additional receivers.
