How are you controlling the units ? If it is just a standalone remote then no, you have no schedule events, only on the XP Processors can you schedule events into the remote.
How is the remote working is it standalone just by itself ? If you think that is the culprit put it in another room that will prove its not the remote.
HDMI could be the cause, turn 1 device on and the other will follow suit if its setup correctly.
