IF, indeed, "IF Input" is the exact name of the thing. I need to control two TVs independently in the same room. They have to be 32" TVs. Do you know of a model that can do that? If I can't get that product, I'll use two different brands. Thanks. EDITed thread title

How exactly does an "IR Input" accomplish this? Didnt we just talk about this in another post not long ago? WTF dude. again.... no budgets to work with. No info on what else we need to control. what is going to be connected to these tv's? EDIT: less than 2 weeks ago we went through all of this. Is this the same project? [Link: remotecentral.com]

I mean an input jack where I can route IR commands to the TV without a second TV accidentally getting sprayed with IR. Didnt we just talk about this in another post not long ago? Yes. WTF dude. again.... no budgets to work with. No info on what else we need to control. what is going to be connected to these tv's? One cable box per TV. EDIT: less than 2 weeks ago we went through all of this. Is this the same project? [Link: remotecentral.com]Yes. And the project has morphed, though transmogrified is a better word, quite a bit. See that other thread for where it is now. It's pretty well put to bed.

there are IR emitter covers that prevent the "Spray" of IR.
The cable boxes do not have a IR input. How do you plan on separating those commands?

Good idea but there's no IR Port on these tuners.

Given: you have a control system that routes IR...there are dozens that do this from URC to Crestron and everything in between. You hinted as such that you do.
Bury the emitters inside the devices like a real man; yes I know, broken record (I don’t care about your warranty excuse).
Enjoy using same cable box and TV models.
Collect check.

I thought we had decided that he should use assigned ports-why are you bringing connecting blocks into this? You know how some people are- they just don't want to see a little bump. (not that he gave us a lot of info to go by.....)
