Hi, I have a 520 remote and I'd like to use it on two separate entertainment systems, each consisting of TV, DVD, receiver, and satellite/cable boxes....
Anyway I am pretty sure this can't be done, but I thought I'd ask -- would it be possible to program the 520 in such a way as to control both rooms?
The best thing would be to program a button for it to toggle between the two rooms and then the activities would be the same (although DIFFERENT devices would have to be controlled in each of the rooms).....
Any ideas of this or whether there'd be another remote to do this? Or should I just buy another remote? :-)
THANKS!

You just have to create separate activities for each room (watch TV room 1, watch TV room 2, etc.). As long as you hit OFF before switching rooms it will work just fine. If you don't hit OFF and you switch rooms it will be sending commands to devices in the previous room which won't be received and the devices will be out of sync. IF that happens you can just hit HELP and that should put it back in sync.
