I have 3 Samsung TVs, 2 LCDs and a Plasma, mounted together on the same wall. Unfortunately for me, they all can be operated with the same remote. I want to be able to turn just one of them on instead of all three at times but I don't know how. Any ideas of how to be able to have the TVs be on different frequencies?

Sorry but I'll share my one trick. Polaroid filters. Depending on the rotation I can do TV 1 or 2. Sorry, but I don't have a 3 pony trick ready.

What do you mean "Depending on the rotation I can do TV 1 or 2. "? I have the same problem with 2 Samsung TV LCD situated in communicating rooms. Can You detailing Your solution? Thanks from Italy.
The old polarizing filter trick is not a trick. It's the physics of light and polarizing filters. Here's a page about polarizing filters and how they work.

Now remove Polarizer 2 and you see how one signal is blocked. Pretend Polarizer 1 is on the remote. Now you see how you can select which TV gets the signal by the rotation of the remote.

Thank You Bob, now I've understood. I'll search for some filter to fix the problem.
