Aye, you normally just change the sky RF settings and plug the coax into the second RF port on the back of sky then into the eye then into the tv, , so you do need to cut some coax to length, very easy process, but can become very annoying, if the coax is cheap, it can become hard to get a good signal, which is needed or the remote wont work.
You can only watch whats on the main set.

as he said, it mirrors whatever is on the main tv, but allows the remote control to work from his room.
and as above, you need to run normal co ax cable. and you will also need to go into the sky maintenance menu to enable the 12v rf to turn on the eye
