All 3 have their own remote, but the LG tv has a 'magic remote' that controls the sound bar too.
There has never been any cross...

I have a client with an outbuilding with its own TT supply, which runs amongst other things 2 freezers. They have asked if it possible to get an alert in the house if...
Well I bought this thing a while back and never got a chance to use it. Today was the first time I've vet had it out. Superb fun!
