tonight we found out my roommate and my tv have the same access code to turn on and off.... switch channels and everything.
is there a way to change this?
ya i have this same problem at my house. we have a nice panasonic 36 inch in the living room and a shitty 13 inch walmart black friday special in the kitchen. the remotes for each tv will operate the other one. every single button works. so there are times when im watching tv in the kitchen while eating and someones watching the one in the living room and suddenly the channels will start changing or the volume will go up.
The worst thing is when one tv is off and the other one is on...and you go to turn the one off, then the other turns on and you get stuck in this weird time warp where you have to do the remote control dance to turn off the other tv whilst also making sure it doesnt turn on the first one again.
As far as i know theres no way to really fix this other than to get an IR blaster and a programmable remote which could get pricey.
