I've never kept the Comcast remote, I always prefer using my own and the one I love that I have at each TV is the One For All URC-8820. It's a learning remote, so all I did was just input each key using the learning feature and the remote works perfect. You'll have to input everything, even the volume up and down, but it's worth the few minutes to set it up, then put the TV remote away for safe-keeping. It's an inexpensive remote, I only paid $10-15 for each one when I bought all 3 at once, have had them for 5+ years now and the only issue is the one used most often has 2 keys starting to show some wear on the lettering on the 2 buttons. Otherwise they continue to work flawlessly. I have the remote programmed for the TV, cable box, DVD Recorder, DVD Player, and a VCR.

Mike here. There is a booklet that list every TV made and the code numbers for all of them. The cable company has one and can give you that information. There is also a search mode that lets the remote find the code on any TV. If you can't find the information, let me know and I will send you the code search information (any cable company will have this search information).

Sorry about that. I bought 2 remotes from Coby and they did not work. I tried to use Master remotes I had already and they did not work. I threw the TV out. It was a waste of my time. Coby did nothing!!! Don't buy a Coby anything!

The silver remote with my comcast box would only work in the aux mode you could not program anything in the cable mode,the cable box I had calls for the dark gray remote not the silver remote,be careful on with one you get.

You have to contact Westinghouse and get an activation code by providing the serial number of the TV set. Totally stupid. And beware... they use both the number "1" and letter I in the serial numbers, so after getting a code that would not work I had to call them and figure this out.

This is right, but, I would like to add that I was confused for days because there was nowhere in preferences to type in the code---finally called a relative who said to just point the remote at the screen and type in and enter the code, and it worked.Also, I was misled by another post into thing that I had to have a DVD in the player to do this. In fact, the player must be empty.Then---it works.

To be honest, I looked thru the description of this remote for all of the TVs that it operated. That`s how I realized that it was right for my Philips TV. Tell you what you can do, Look at the back of you TV and get the correct serial number. Then come back to Amazon and find your remote. You should be able to find it easy that way. Good luck!

We had the same problem. Our remote was junk and fell apart. Tview wanted $90 to replace the remote. I haven't been able to get a universal remote to work with it either.

I know you've found your answer, but my code was one of the ones for RCA (10047 on my cable box/dvr remote). I plan on getting a harmony remote up and running. Does that have a dedicated code for it/work well in your hands?

I had trouble programming the code for the TV but I was doing it wrong. You hit Prgm button then enter the code to your TV (found on the last page in SMALL print!) & then you must hit the OK button! Then you try to adjust the volume using the remote. If the TV changes volume, then you found the correct code. If no volume change, then you have to enter the next code listed for your TV (doing each step I described). I had to enter several codes before I found one that worked. Helpful tip: write your TV code on the front of the digital converter box instructions & keep it handy. When the remote batteries get changed, you will need to reprogram the remote! Good Luck!

Depends on the type of remote you have. Go to http://customer.comcast.com/remotes/ and select "Audio". This page will suggest multiple codes and try them one by one.

I did the same thing. I ordered a remote off Amazon and it works fine. Don't remember the website.

The TV codes for this remote are in the receiver, go to menu -> settings&help; -> settings -> remote control -> program remote, follow instructions for selecting brand, receiver will send code to remote and verify that it works.

Hi, start with using commands from RCA codes, if that doesn't work then try pioneer... my guess it will be RCA as that is the staple of all remotes

The tv works with Comcast cable but will not turn on and off with the Comcast remote. Need to use the tv remote to turn it on and off.

If you have the original remote just use the LEARN feature. I had to do it for my Telus digital TV remote it uses proprietary codes.

I got this for Comcast, found out later they won't let it on their system. I'd contact them and see if they allow it on their system.
