This is almost too complicated to try to communicate about. I've been given no time, basically, to make this two-TV system work for them while having the way the remotes work be similar to all the other remotes in the house; they'd like to not have a lot of different kinds remotes in the house, though they now have a couple of cable company remotes, a URC MX850, and a Logitech Smart Control M/N: N-R0010. There's a photo of a Logitech remote that's supposed to be that model but it looks very different from the remote I saw at the client's house.

The cable boxes are all Motorola DCX-3200Ms. They use component and HDMI out of these boxes to feed signal to three locations.

It's easy to use URC IR routing to separately control the cable boxes. The difficulty is the two TVs. I think I'll just go simple and get two different brands of TV.

A detail, too, is that the control scenario can't be allowed to be too too complicated. There will be at least two remotes) sitting on different exercise machines). Each remote has to be able to be picked up, no matter whats's playing, and easily take control from there. I'll probably put in a HOME location before starting to use either remote unless they know that's the last remote that was being used.

I don't know if this made a lot of sense. I've been trying to work it through to make it simple and, thanks to your questions, I've got a much better handle on it.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
