Reviews:

I received a "Dark" silver remote instead of the lighter silver one (which my old one was) shown in the picture, and though it worked fine with my Sony flatscreen and Panasonic HT system, it would not work with my Motorola DCT6200 Cable box - it would not accept the codes to change the default cable box setting, which apparently is a newer device. A bit of searching on the Internet turned up this WONDERFUL page, [...] which is a pretty comprehensive wiki on these Comcast remotes. Anyway, I'll get to the part that worked *immediately" to get this to work with my old HD cable box: The Cable device code may be locked on some remotes. To unlock:

press the CABLE button.
press and hold the SETUP button until the CABLE button blinks twice.
Enter 9 - 8 - 2. The CABLE key will blink four times.

Then: Hold SETUP button until the CABLE button blinks twice
Enter 01376 (The CABLE Button should blink twice, indicating that the new code has been accepted)
The remote should now work with the older cable box. There is no need to re-lock the remote to the cable box.

I saw a complaint that a person had to keep hitting "AUX" to control the volume of their audio system - the remote can be programmed to perform that function while being left in the "cable" mode. The same works for the "TV" mode. (This is actually in the manual that comes with the remote)

1.Press and hold the SETUP button until the CABLE button blinks twice.
2.Enter 9-9-3 (light will blink twice)
3.Press and release either the AUX key or the TV key, which will blink twice - now you should be able to control the volume while remaining in the "Cable Box" mode.

I received the remote brand new in the bag from makeawishkid in perfect condition, so I rated it five stars because I'm using the remote on an old box, which isn't the seller's fault.
