Two Apple TVs in same room?

I have two Apple TVs in the same room.
They are each set to work with their own activity, but the Harmony One controls both even when not on that Apple TV's activity.
I'd like to set it so that only one of them is controlled when I'm in its activity.
I've tried pairing the remote per the site's instructions but the remote STILL controls both as if it's the same device.
Here's my procedure:
1. Select New Apple TV as a device on the remote.
2. Aim remote at New Apple TV (while shielding the IR port on the Old Apple TV).
3. Select pair (screen reflects a successful pairing).
Repeat procedure for Old Apple TV.
But then the remote STILL controls both devices no matter which activity I'm in.
Any ideas?

if you are using the logitech to control both appletv's you won't be able to pair, because it's the same remote and both the appletv's are set to be paired to it.
the only way round this is to either use 2 different remotes, or turn 1 of the appletv's off when not in use.
just because you are using a different activity on the remote doesn't make it a totally different remote in the eyes of the appletv.

  • Keynote presentation AirPlay stream to two Apple TVs from one iMac

    Yes, provided you haven't hit the limit of number of concurrent streaming connections allowed in iTunes (5).

  • Audio problem with one episode of iTunes tv show on two apple tvs but audio works fine on same show on iMac

    I have a season pass to Dr Who and all 30+ other shows purchased on iTunes work great. Last night's episode (Hide) has a hissing sound so loud it drowns out all the audio in the show when i try to watch it on my Apple TV.  I then downloaded the episode to my iMac and my iPad and no audio issues there. However when I tried playing it shared from my iMac to the Apple TV and the audio problem was there again. Same thing happened when I tried to AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV.
    I have two Apple TVs. One is latest model w latest upgrade, the other is generation before without latest upgrade. Same audio issue on both. I have tons of iTunes TV shows and movies and this is the only episode with an issue. Something is wrong with this file that causes it to screws up the audio on Apple TV.
    Has anyone else seen this kind of audio issue specific to just one TV episode or movie?  Anyone know support path for iTunes problems?

    If other episodes play Dolby Digital fine this could be a file encoding problem - they sometimes get it wrong.
    I suggest you all contact Apple about the problem via itunes store support here:

  • If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

    If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
    Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

    Hi Carito,
    It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

  • Two Apple Tvs - one iTunes account

    I bought two Apple TVs - and want to have them sync to one iTunes account. After I bought the second Apple TV and synced it to my iTunes account, my iTunes account doesn't recognize the first Apple TV. I can ping it - so it's on the network. I've gone to Computers and have tried to reconnect to a shared iTunes account / even connect back to the iTunes account. When I'm given a code, there's no place for me to put the code into iTunes. The device doesn't show under Devices (just my most recent Apple TV)
    Help - I need to sync to both - it's for my 3 1/2 year old son

    Thanks for the response - I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11 I did rename my Apple TVs - so the names are different.
    Also, sometimes my second Apple TV isn't showing on my iTunes either. This is very frustrating!
    I'm also on a dual 2.3 GHZ PowerPC G5 (not an intel version). iTunes software version 7.6.2 (9)

  • How do I disable sharing on one of two apple tvs? I do not want to share my library and apps with my ex. Apple tvs are in separate homes

    I just broke up and left my ex and we had two apple tvs in our home.  I kept one and she kept one.  How do I turn off home sharing on the apple tv that she kept?  I no longer want to share anything with her.  My apps, music, movies, etc.  Do I need to change my apple ID?

    Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Yes you can do all that without needing to keep plugging things in and out. You will still need to manually turn on the receiver and turn down the volume from the tv though.

  • Two Apple TVs to Two TVs from one iPad?

    Hello all,
    I bought two Apple TVs to try to solve my problem here.
    I have TWO TVs that are on either side of my podium in the boardroom and would like to put my powerpoint presentations from my one iPad onto both of them. I was wondering if this was possible with the two Apple TVs I bought using Airplay before I decide to unwrap them from the plastic. What about video playback?
    Thank you.

    99% sure it's not possible to mirror to more then one device at the time

  • HT4145 I want to set up two apple extreme in same location wired how do i set it up

    How can i set up two apple extreme in same location
    Wired from the main one two the second

    Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the available LAN (opposing arrows) ports on the first AirPort Extreme to the WAN (circle of dots) port on the second Extreme.
    Reconfigure the second Extreme as a bridge, using the AirPort Utility as follows:
    Run the AirPort Utility.
    Select the second Extreme, and then, select Edit.
    Select the Network tab.
    Change Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode)
    By default each Extreme will broadcast its own wireless network. In this case, you will have four (one on each band x 2) Wi-Fi networks.
