Comcast DVR Anyone used any of the Harmony remotes with a Comcast HD DVR box? I'd love to hear that it works great...

I'm using it with the motorola HD DVR (Comcast) and it works great. After setup, it even put the "My DVR" button on one of the soft buttons by default. It controls everything in my AV rack perfectly.What I like best is that it's durable. With kids around, it's hit the floor 30+ times and still works great.

What about Comcast On-Demand features? Does this remote work flawlessly with On-Demand? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

It works just like the comcast remote only sans the On Demand button. You can program it in though, I just haven't done it yet.

Doesn't work worth a darn if you are using comcast crx-3400. The harmony says you don't have anything that can change channels.

It works fine. You have a few options. Tune to chan 001 on your own, use the Menu key to get to on demand or use the software to add the On Demand button to one of the soft keys.

My first unit did not work with the remote. I even tried changing inputs with my Harmony remote (configured to HD1832). Returned to Amazon. Second one worked ok.

Assuming your VIZIO uses a standard infrared remote, the Hot Link will work great. This unit will reliably transmit any IR signal to a distant (in a closet, for instance) location. I assume that the device you really need to control, though, is your DVR, not your TV, as the TV's IR receiver is on the front of the TV. To control the DVR remotely the Hot Link will work perfectly. I own two of these systems - they are both flawless.Good Luck

Not sure about the Comcast remote. I am using a Harmony One. I don't believe it shuts off by itself. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Good luck, I could not find ones that worked when I searched around. The only way I was able to set up another remote on this terrible unit, was through auto scan on my cable providers remote control.

No it cannot replace A Comcast DVR. The Boxee Box plays NetfliX, Youtube, and files shared on a network.

I seem to remember there being an adjustment for syncing.. The thing worked very well for me hooking up a base model comcast cable box. At one point I had an out of sync problem, but rebooting this box fixed it.. Never had it happen since.

Artie, I'm using Comcast HD as well and have 2 of these on separate sets. Small investment with good results!!

If you have the hdmi or component inputs, unit should work. However, I had a lot of trouble with mine. The first week the DVR worked fine. After that it has not worked correctly. In my opinion it is a piece of junk. However, apparently it is the only game in town. When it works it is ok. It does not work all the time. I recomended to Amazon not to sell it. But what do I know?

I've got the same question as Jonathan -- does this DVRRecorder pick up cable channels? will it get the 500s-700s? If so, I'm ready to buy! :-DI don't get decent reception antenna only so I have to use cable, much as I hate shelling out to Comcast every month I'm stuck with them. ;-p I've been resisting TIVO b/c I don't want to pay an additional monthly subscription fee. Why would anyone pay monthly for Tivo if you can do the same thing for free with a DVDRecorder like this one?

Yeah I'm still trying to get the iO DVR uni remote to work with it and I can't get it to work.. i tried the samsung codes.. I'll try the RCA ones and see if I have any success there. For this remote, there is a manual way of doing it.. but that won't help anyone here since it won't tell me the code to tell anyone anyway... Hope someone else has luck with this!

I have AT&T; U-verse and I have this switch. I don't use the switch in between the DVR and TV. I use my switch in between my Xbox and Blu-Ray and the TV and haven't had any problems. If you connect HDMI from DVR to TV do you get the same issue?

I use it with my DirecTV DVR and it works fine. It's a little complicated (for me) to install and remove, but once done, it works well on my Directv dvr. Hope this helps.

Does the Xbox One control your TiVo? If so, the play, rewind, etc will work but it's not a true universal remote. I still have to use my cable remote to play DVR content and use the guide, I'm not a fan of the One Guide.

My first DVR from Security Man worked great for about 3 months. Then, nothing. Would not playback, erase, nothing. I purchased anouther one due to the price, it has been working great for about 2 months. I'm selling the house now, I hope it lasts til closing.
