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?


** Are you " having a laugh " ??


No?

Remotes are all IR for damn good reasons.


And that would be?


I notice there is no answer offered?

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


** Care to point one such out to us?


That wasn't my question or point.

BTW:

Impossible is not the issue - impractical is.


Because? I still see no actual facts being offered here?

It doesn't matter that you neither understand the question or have a
solution Phil. I'm sure there will be some here who can manage both.
