Remotes for Receivers
For my new man cave I am going to have three different TVs on the same wall? Will my remotes be able to be set to differentiate between the TVs or will I need to explore another option? I don't want all 3 TVs to change at once when I press something on the remote.

There are two different issues here.
First, Directv. If your receivers are the models that have RF control, you can use RF to differentiate between the Directv boxes. But more of a problem is likely to be the TVs. All the TV remotes operate in IR not RF. Which means that if the TVs are the same, or even from the same manufacturer, they will all respond to any remote command either from the directv remote or the TVs own remote. You would need to get TVs from different manufacturers using three different code sets. I guess you could check this out in a TV showroom (Best Buy etc) by using the remote from one TV and see if it controls the others.
