I have an unusual situation.. I originally setup the beam 2 with an older 55” LG TV using optical input (no Earc) with an Apple TV 4k. Worked fine. Then purchased a new 65” Hisense U7. Moved the Beam 2 to the Hisense tv. Kept the LG in the same room. Now the Apple remote controls both TV’s volumes. Apple TV remote is set to IR TV only, not Auto. Any ideas?

OK.. Answering my own question.. LOL. Evidently this is a TV remote issue, in that, the codes for the Hisense and LG are the same. That sucks!!
If you switch to HDMI, it should only use that input and thus not interfere with other TVs.
