I think remote signals in my house are getting crossed.?
So I recently got a television in my room and was able to move my Wii U from the family room into my room; however, whenever I play a game on the Wii U, the TV in the family room loses its signal from the cable box which is plugged directly into the TV via an HDMI cable. Is it possible that the signal from the Wii remote is causing this odd phenomenon?
Some other details:
-The family room TV is a Vizio
-My new TV is a Samsung
-The Wii U is plugged into my TV via HDMI. Also plugged in is an original Wii (Component cables) and a BluRay player (also HDMI)
-The sensor bar for the Wii U (and the Wii) are on a shelf with doors about 2-ish yards from where I sit with the Wii Remote.
-The family room and my room are on different stories of the house and on opposite sides of the house.
If you need any other information, feel free to ask. Thanks.

Hm that's really strange. It's possible but highly unlikely. What cable provider do you have? How many set top boxes do you have? I work for a cable company, and sometimes we use switches to run cable from a single input source to multiple tvs. These switches need power, and can be very finicky. When you play your wii u, does it cut out all the tvs? It could be a wiring issue, where running the wii u shorts out the switch. Also uncommon but I've seen it happen before.

if your tv is plugged in via HDMI then the wii u shouldn't be messing up that signal and the way HDMI cables work is either that signal gets there or it doesn't at all. meaning there would be no image at all.
