How does Harmony work with several televisions? I have several televisions in my home. I would like to install an RF extender in two of them. What happens when I turn on one television, do both of them turn on at the same time? Can you control them separately, or do I have to install the RF extender in just one television? Thanks!

I have an (old) harmony 720, hopefully the same holds for this one...You can add multiple different TVs to the device. Just put each TV in a different "activity". e.g. I have activities like "Watch TV (Fam Rm)", "Watch TV (Study)", "Watch TV (BR)". Selecting a device for just one activity turns on the devices for just that activity. If I recall, I had the option of choosing whether to turn off the unused devices. Mine is programmed with 3 different TVs, 3 different DVD players, 3 different VCRs, Cable box, audio receiver. So, I can use it to control every device in my house with activities for each room (mix of devices).

I used the wizard to set up a similar activity, but for a different room, and nowhere during the process was I prompted ro rename the 2d activity (eg TV-Den) Where in the software is the menu for renaming?S

No. You're supposed to buy another one for the TV's, DVD players, etc. that you have on another floor.
2010218
my question is are you supposed to carry your remote with you every where you go? maybe they need to make a remote control belt holder like a six shooter...

Yes, I have 2 separate strips controlled by one rf remote. I wish the remote/receivers could be paired together because I'd like to use other remotes in other parts of the house!

I have no idea. I only have the one set which I have been very happy with, but I have no idea how a second set will interact with each other. You might check internally on the remotes & recievers to see if there are "Dip Switches" that could be reset to a different code to eliminate possible interaction. That's my best guess for you !

It's been a while since I tried hooking up two TV's, but I do believe that using one at a time works, but if the 2nd tv is turned on you will lose sound.

All of your equipment uses different IR codes. The code to turn on your tv is different from the code to turn on your cable box. Therefore, you can use 1 IR port to control many things. What I normally do is splice the emitters together but you can buy ones that come with multiple emitter heads so you don't have to splice anything. I've only seen up to 6 emitters per port. You have to take into consideration that the more emitters you add per port the bigger the load on that port will be. You will reach a point where that port won't be able to supply enough voltage to make the emitters work properly. All of your equipment uses different IR codes.

Since this remote only has one programmable activity, you must switch to the various devices -- change input on your TV, Change source on your amp. , etc. Just like you would on any $8 universal remote. Really, it is not what you buy the Harmony for. For the actual functionality you're looking for, you should try to get a Harmony model that can handle 3 or 4 activities (650 etc).

Thanks for the reply JT.Let me rephrase the question. Plasma TVs are well known to cause mild to severe interference to the operation of IR extender/emitter system. TV itself can be operated with the remote without problems. It is the target/receiver of the extender system that gets drowned in the plasma TV's IR storm and stops responding to the remote control. IR extender from CTG did not work well in my room due to the presence of plasma TV.Some extenders are known to have overcome this interference. So I wanted to know if this extender from Logitech works well in the presence of plasma TV or not. Please chime in with your experience with this issue.

Hi Quinn, Thanks for the question. A couple of things. First, the bluetooth technology will not allow one device, like a phone, to connect to 2 different products at the same time. So unfortunately adding a second set is not possible unless you will be listening to 2 different things. Secondly, I do not believe that a TV can send a signal to the rock speakers. Bluetooth TV's are usually receiving a signal, not broadcasting. A separate surround receiver cannot connect to these speakers. The image you saw in the instructions was more to describe the location to place speakers for optimal enjoyment, not surround sound. Now if you were streaming movies to a TV and the device you were streaming from was bluetooth, like a tablet, then this could send the sound to the rock speakers. Hope this helps!

You should be ok, there are dip switches that let you set each one to different frequency, i have 2 and they don't interfere. Actually because of the remote's 2 sets of controls, i can control both switches from one remote. But you don't have to set it up that way.

They do not operate independently. If you need t two relays, you need two separate set of remotes. Both remotes are coded to that one relay only.

What are the uses that are most affected by the RF signal? I see these posts a lot, and have a decent knowledge of RF, but I'm curious why people complain about this so much.Many traditional remotes without RF will still allow you to control a device out of your line of sight as long as it is in proximity (same room) to you.In any event, my understanding is that the Harmony One does not have RF. I'm waiting for somebody to reply to my question on the top review to clear this up.

I'm still confused, and hoping someone can help. We have one of these right now, and with a 2nd child coming, I want to buy a 2nd one. I would like to be able to hear BOTH rooms on one parent receiver on the same channel. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

I bought two sets, one receiver and one remote in one room and another set in the room beside it. They don't interfere with each other. Every set is on it's own frequency. Hope that helps.

Even though I don't have this kind of a setup, as the previous poster stated, it's one or the other - not both.with this unit, you hook your HDMi Cables from the TVs in the priority you want to view them so that when the other is turned on, it over-rides the HDMI from the first and the signal switches to the new system - but the original TV goes dark. When you turn that system off, the first will return. In addition a remote comes with the unit which will allow you to switch between units also - which is a nice feature. But again its one or the other - not both. If you want both operating at the same time - you need a HDMI splitter.

In theory, yes, as that is what powered HDMI splitters are supposed to do...take the original signal and amplify it so a clean signal gets to multiple devices. In practice there are sometimes problems when connecting to equipment that is several years old as they may not have implemented the later HDMI standards. For instance, I wanted to send HDMI to a new tv at the end of a 50 ft hdmi cable as well as a four year old 'smart tv' adjacent to the dish receiver. Both tvs would get the same channel although only one would be turned on. The splitter worked fine for the newer tv, but the older one would never have audio UNTIL power was cycled on the splitter. I tried several splitters .... all exhibited the same symptom. Apparently the older tv didn't have the same interface standards as the newer so I do not think ANY splitter would have worked as I intended. Bottom line is you just have to try it. Chances are it will work.

You need an RF remote and "blaster" setup - I have the Harmony 900, pricey, but works well. My setup is in a closet in another room, just the TV on the wall, which is what you are going to do. The RF remotes also operate infared, so the TV, which can be "seen" is able to function as well. i recommend the Harmony series over the URC, simply for ease of use. Best of luck to you...

Hi there! Each Roku box runs separately on each TV and they should not interfere with one another. Also, the remote controls for each Roku are paired specifically to that unit, so again, there is no problem with interference with those components. I hope this helps!
