Conflict between remote controls

Hi all,
I've just set up a Humax Freeview box which I wish to use along side my Humax Freesat box. (Just to expand my recordings etc...).
However I've noticed that both remote controls operate each boxes! (,I.e Using the Freeview remote to power up the Freeview box also switches on the Freesat box...and vice versa...)

Is there any way around this?

Thanks,
G

You can change the remote control code set on one of the boxes. The instructions for changing on the Freesat HDR are at https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/multi-code-function-hdhdr-remote-2

That's great thanks again Martin.
Oh and whilst I've got your attention...

I'm using an HDMI switcher box to allow me to make these extra connections but noticed that the picture resolution occasionally switches to 576i... It's a One for All box, a bit cheap to be honest. And it's a bit of a sod to switch between devices.

Any recommendations for a decent switcher?

Thanks again for your invaluable advice.

Sorry I don't have much experience with HDMI switchers so hopefully someone else can answer; I will be interested to see what the recommendations are.

Thinking about it, you might get more response if you started a new thread.
