TV's Control two TV's in living room

Hi:


Need some help if anyone has encountered the problem of how to control 2
TV's in the RV Living Room. We have a new 2018 Allegro Red with two LG Televisions in the living room. When we try to control one tv both sometime react and sometime do not react the same. We turn one tv to a different channel the other tv may or may not change. Has anyone found an answer to this problem

  • I suggest you call Don Boyd at Tiffin (256) 356-0161 Ext 3824.

    Your, (and all) TVs use Infra-Red light, so it is "line-of-sight". If you can close a door between the 2 TVs, that would take care of the problem.
    I do recall that some brands made a menu option to change the characteristics of one TV to avoid this problem. You might check the owners manual or scroll thru the various menu settings.

    Mike,
    In this case it's not exactly line of sight. I was thinking the same thing until I saw how it worked. The front TV reacted exactly as the middle TV, the one with the remote pointed at it. The remote wasn't in any way even remotely (no pun intended) pointed at the front TV.
  • Friends of ours with an Allegro Red just left - they had the same issue, something about the way Tiffin set it up.

    I don't think they liked it either, I'd be interested to hear the outcome.

    how 'bout turning one off and/or getting up and changing channels manually? how is it possible to watch two different programs at the same time in such a confined space?

  • have your tried to pair each tv with each remote. Unplug one TV and pair one remote to it and mark it. Then do the same with the other one. If it shows any remote that is paired delete them prior to doing the pairing part.

    Lg has the step in their manual and on the web. You an always call LG hotline and get the right steps to do this.
  • I will be interested to see the responses. I assume you don't have a satellite TV setup but are simply wanting to watch TV using your over-the-air (OTA) antenna. If that's the case then the manufacturer did a really bad thing by installing similar TV's controlled by the same remote.
