Two Apple TV 4K - One Harmony Remote Control

I have two ATV 4K in the same room, both being controlled from one Harmony HUB. One ATV is controlled via IR and the other via Bluetooth, to make sure that they can be controlled individually.

This works very good, except for one thing..

When controlling the one ATV via Bluetooth and pressing 'Skip forward' or 'Skip backwards', the other ATV, controlled via IR, reacts on the command and powers up.

It is only the 'Skip forward' or 'Skip backwards' that does this.

Any ideas??

Using AppleTV 4k with a Logitech Harmony One universal remote I have an AppleTV 4K and a Logitech Harmony One remote. I am able to do most everything with the Harmony remote, except the TV button, the long press to activate control center and the double press to activate the app switcher. The Harmony software from Logitech does not have this button as part of its available commands to use (I know this is a long standing oversight by Logitech). But also, I have tried to use the Learn Remote feature in the AppleTV settings, but while the Up button learns just fine, the down button says the button is already in use. I have also tried to use the AppleTV black remote to teach the Harmony remote the IR command, but it would seem the command is sending via Bluetooth when I hit the TV button on the Apple remote, as the Harmony remote never receives an IR command. Has anyone been able to get the TV button working with a Logitech Harmony remote?

how to control tv on and off with Apple TV remote I have two separate Apple TV's set up using the identical TV's (Samsung new model). On one system, I am able to control the on/off and volume of the TV with my Apple TV remote. The other system says that "you can't use System Control with this configuration". There are no other options to choose. I've gone down the list on both systems and they appear to be identical. What am I missing? I'd like to use only the Apple TV remote and put my Samsung remote in a drawer and never have to get it out.

How can I switch off tv with Apple remote? I actually have an Apple TV 4K 2022 connected to a Sony KD-43XF7596 TV and Sonos ARC via the 4k Arkana adapter. I can then switch the tv on and regulate volume by using the Apple remote, but I can’t manage to switch the Sony TV off by switching the Apple TV off. Actually all my Bravia sync options are ok, but still can’t manage. any suggestion? Thank-you very much in advance
