This has been bugging me for a few months now and it's gotten to the point where I need to fix it before I go insane..

This is my problem: I have a Philips LCD TV and a Pioneer DVD player/5.1 surround sound system in my room. The Philips TV has its own dedicated remote as does the Pioneer system. The Philips remote control gives me no problems and works like a charm but the Pioneer remote stops working when the tv's on. When the tv's off the Pioneer controller works with no problems but having the tv on intercepts the signal and makes the dvd player remote essentially useless. Since these two controllers came shipped with the product and can't necessarily be reprogrammed I'm lost as to how I can fix the confusion in the IR signals

Now, I have this HP All-in-one remote that came with my wireless media server but I don't think I can program it to work with the Pioneer DVD/surround system -- even if I could I would miss out on a lot of functionality (pictured)



Does anyone have any ideas?
