Default IR V visible red and PVR remotes.

We have recently gained a second set top box / personal video recorder
and they are both (technically) the same. The problem then is the two
remotes affect both units (as they are used independently).

Now, I was wondering if I was to replace one remote TX LED with a
visible red LED and possibly put a visible red optical grade filter
over the matching STB, would / should that be enough to isolate the
two systems?

No?

Remotes are all IR for damn good reasons.


And that would be?

So, are you suggesting it's totally impossibly to have a remote
controller using visible light


** Care to point one such out to us?

BTW:

Impossible is not the issue - impractical is.


.... or even using an audible 'click' for that matter? ;-)
