Got two systems, each with Radeon AIW vid cards in them. One is a 7500 and the other an 8500. I was really surprized that the remote controls will turn the other TV function on when used, The PC's are only about 50' from one another in our spare bedrooms. No fun when guests like PawPaw want to turn it on and wakes my wife's sister in the other room when it comes on in there! Who would a thunk it?!

50 feet is a little bit of a shocker. I thought those RF remotes were only good for about 30 feet. I guess you can always unplug the remote sensor from its USB port to prevent that from happening.
I've never used one of those, but is there a channel select function? Most RF devices that I've seen (cordless mice, etc) have more than one available channel.

Haven't found a way to select or change channel yet...still covering documentation, though.

Radio Frequency remotes have a range of up to 100 ft - including going through walls. But they should have a channel selector - it's usually in a menu. I've never used that particular remote, so I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly where to look for the information. But RF remotes have access to 223 different channels.
