Remote control of similar items

Is there a way to control 2 tv's of the same make/manufacturer indpendently of each other?

Or multiple satilite dishes?

Not easily....or cheaply

You can do it with the Universal Remote line of remotes and an RF base station.
Pick up a MX-350 and base station for under $200. You can assign which commands go out on which emitter via the RF base station so if you have 4 of the same tv all next to each other, you wouldn't have a problem using the remote to control each tv independtly. You just assign tv1 to ir output 1, tv2 to ir output 2, etc.
(at least I think the MX-350 allows for that feature)

And how does each tv know that the signal being sent out is for it if each tv uses the same commands?
