Yes, most receiver's can be set to work with (2) UHF remotes. The set up is different if you are trying to use (2) UHF remote to both work TV2. In this case you will need to set both remote adresses to the same number for them both to work. If you are wanting one to work TV1 & one to work TV2. The the TV1 remote will need to be switched to UHF mode (switch inside battery compartment on remote). There are certain recievers which will be hard to process this on so if you are unable to complete this, please e-mail me with your reciever & remote model#'s and I will give detailed explanations for that specific equipment. Good Luck and thanks!
