Two roku TVs next to each other

We have two roku tv's in the same room. One is our normal entertainment TV. The other is used only to display our 6 security cameras. Due to room size both tv's are against the same wall and only about 36 inches apart. I was under the impression that if we got the voice control remotes and paired each one to a different TV there would not be any interferrence problems. Not so. When using either controller there are issues with the other TV. 

Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? Moving one of the TV's to a different wall is not possible.

Thanks in advance.

Are any of the current remotes in use have crescent moon key on them? Those are strictly IR remotes and will control both of your Roku tvs at the same time. Voice remote have microphone key in place of the moon key. And when pairing each true voice remote to the respective Roku tv, have the other unplugged from the power.

Re: Two roku TVs next to each other

I believe @Tivoburkee has provided the best advice, but here's something else you can try in case you do still have an IR remote. Somewhere on the TV along the bottom is the IR receiver window. Cover that window (black tape over it or something simply placed in front of the window) and it won't see any IR signals from anything. I use two TVs as monitors in my home office, and both happen to respond to the same TV remote. So I just taped over the IR window of the set that I leave on full time so the other remote signals can't get to it.
