Two remotes.  TV1 is set to channel 3 like normal, works with the TV1 
remote.  TV2 is set to channel 73, uses the TV2 remote.  I have 4 TVs 
running off 2 boxes, so don't know how a single TV would work.  The 
second TV just has co-ax feeding in, so it should work the same into a 
computer.  All our internal co-ax is the same that used to be for cable, 
only the outside wiring changed.
