RF remote issues - Help needed!!!

Sorry for the long post but I have been fighting this issue for almost a year.

I have two Roamio DVRs (Pace Brand) and 4
minis. I oringinally had all the devices in a media room built specifically for
these devices, and although the Dish units I had in this closet all worked
perfectly, Tivo's would not work. I had to move 3 mini's to the TV's and use
IR. The two DVR's and one Mini in the closet, it still would not work
correctly. RF will work for 30 sec, then stop working, wait 10-15 seconds and it will start working again.

Two on the units are less than 20 ft from where the remote is typically used, the last one is out on a patio about 40 ft.

The worst part is that I get a "stuck Key" behavior that would act as if a key on the remote is pressed, this would happen for
sometimes up to a minute. Today it took almost 40 minutes to login to Spotify on the Tivo because of this behavior.

These are some of the things I have tried.

1. Reset all remotes and allowed Tivo's to re-discover them.
2. Changed the channel from 0 to 0, 1, 2 respectively
3. Turned off all devices to stop any interference.
4. I have replace Tivo's and remotes.
5. I added a RF dongle to the Tivo's to see if that would help
6. I have spent a lot of time on phone with Tivo support but the issues are still ongoing.

I found that when I separated the Tivo's by a few feet it worked a little better, but not much so I ran wires and installed a jack plate on the wall outside the media closet to separate them. This helped but it still stops responding after about 30 seconds and I still get the " stuck key" behavior every 3-5 minutes. The worse part about this is now I have to listen to the fan on the Tivo when I have a awesome climate controlled media closet.

My only conclusion id that RF on the Tivo's is terrible, or I am doing something wrong. I am a technical guy, but I am tired of trying to get this to work if it never will. Is there anyone with a similiar setup that is working?

I love the Tivo's and I really want this to work.

Thanks, I have read numerous forum posts and there are a few similiar questions, but the posts were older so I thought I would start a new thread.
