I have two TVs side by side LG 60UB8200 and the Samsung UN60KS800 going through a Yamaha A3050. One TV goes through zone 1 and the other TV goes through zone 4 on the Yamaha receiver. For a source I have 2 xbox one, dish and apple TV.
I have a Harmony Elite remote and would like to control both TVs and watch both at the same time. I went with the approach that I could create two separate activities and watch both at the same time.
Activity 1 - watch dish on LG turn on LG TV, turn on zone 1 on the Yamaha receiver and turn on dish network.
Activity 2 - watch appleTV on Samsung turn on Samsung TV, turn on zone 4 on the Yamaha receiver and turn on appletv.
Both work great independently but I have a huge flaw in my design. The remote only thinks I can do one thing at a time, so it turns off one to do the other.
Has anyone else overcome this problem? I figure that I could buy another remote and treat the two TVs independently but would really like a solution where I could use just one remote.
