Multiple DXC3200-M's in basement, how do I change channels independently?

I'm trying to do some planning for hosting March Madness in my basement.  I have 4 DCX3200-M boxes hooked up to 4 different tv's in my basement.  Unfortunately, right now when I use a remote to change the channel, it changes it on all of the boxes.  Is there any way for me to set the boxes up so that I can control each one independently?

Short answer: Can't.

You will need some sort of IR repeater or use the IR input on the back. But to be honest I don't know enough on the subject to make suggestions. I tried looking through Newegg and Amazon, and just ended up getting confused. Anyone have experience?

This could be a good place to start.

You might also try this forum. AVS has some very knowledge AV nerds.

Back in the '80s, I had two identical VCRs that presented the same dilemma. I used old linear polarizing filters from my photography days. I put a vertical polarization filter in front of one VCR's IR sensor, and a horizontal polarization filter in front of the other. Then, simply turning the remote in a vertical or horizontal position determined which VCR got the command. It worked well most of the time.
