Two WMC/MCE HTPCs in same location, how to control ?

I built a UHD playback specific HTPC that runs kodi. I placed it in the same location as my Windows 7 WMC HTPC. The problem I am running into is that they both use same remote codes and they interfere with each other. What would the solution to that be?

Thx

For the win 7 PC, I believe there is a registry key you can set where it will pair that remote to that PC but I don't know exactly how to do it.

Set Remote Control ID - To enable your Media Center to respond to a specific remote control ID do the following; 1. Press and hold the DVD Menu key on the remote then press a number button (1-8) for 5 seconds. Remotes with visible LED signal indicators will blink twice to confirm the change. 2. Enter that same number below. 3. Save. 4. Restart the Media Center PC. Note: To enable Media Center to respond to all remotes use the number 0. A reboot is required for this setting to take effect.

· Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da

· Registry value - CodeSetNum0

· Registry value data type - REG_DWORD

This setting also requires deleting the following registry values:

· Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da

· Registry value - CodeSetNum1

· Registry value - CodeSetNum2

· Registry value - CodeSetNum3
