It doesn't work with my Comcast cable TV subscription. The remote just does on/off--no channel selection. Am I screwing up?

Make sure u set the input from the VIZIO remote to "TV"...then u control the comcast via the comcast remote.

yeah, use com cast remote to change channel on the box. The vizio remote only works on the tv

Hello Bonnie, I would love to answer this question for you but I'm afraid that I can't. I bought this to replace the antenna that came with a 7" RCA portable television that I'd purchase previously. It picked up 32 channels and works pretty good...but I don't know if it's going to work with your Comcast Cable service. I'm sorry that I could not be of much help to you!

Yes, I have a Comcast box and it works fine. What's a little tricky though is you have to find the little IR reciever window on the front of the Comcast box. Take a flashlight and shine it parallel to the face and it should become visible. In other words, don't shine it straight AT the face, but along it. Once you find that, hole the IR repeater's little transmitter piece over it and make sure it works. Then peel off the adhesive and stick it there.

this remote is programmable, so you should be able to get it to run most other things. I programed it to work both my TV and my home theater system. I don't have a cable box but I would assume you could control that too.

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.

Hi Bob- thanks for posting on here. I followed your instructions with my comcast remote and I am able to get power and volume down on the comcast remote but no volume up (super frustrating). Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

This television does not work well with cable boxes DVR functionality. You can use it to change the channels and access some menus but your still going to want to use the comcast remote for DVR functions and menu searches. If you only need to change the channels and view the comcast channel guide you'll be covered.

Not properly. I tried hooking it up and it will pick up channels but they do not register like the time warner channels. They have their own numbering system of some kind and would make it very difficult to find the channel you are looking for.

My remote was dead out of the box. I will receive a replacement in 8-10 business days once the product is in stock (they currently have.. none, wonder why?).That said, my comcast universal remote will operate the device except for the menu. Distance is not an issue with my universal remote - I think all the talk about distance is because the original remote is worthless.

I'm a comcast subscriber and it works fine. You will just need to call them with the numbers on the modem to have them register it.

I am able to. I have a different cable company but I don't think it matters. The cable channels come in via the digital tuner and it's my TV remote that I use to watch another channel. Does your TV remote have an input button? So that while AV is recording you can switch to TV mode and watch another program? If you are using a cable box that might be the issue.

That is what I was trying to do....... one at a time, but it did not work with a Comcast box............ It worked with a friend's Verizon box, though. I guess it depends on the cable box.

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

This only works to control the TV itself. It does not control a cable box. You need a TV that is cable ready which I think most are these days. You plug the cable directly into the TV without a box in the path and then choose channels on the TV using this remote. I hope it works out for you - my elderly father-in-law really likes his.

supposed to work on all but i would call your cable provider and ask them, mine works great

It does for us. Found out when we played with buttons on the remote. However, that could be a service from the cable provider and not necessarily an option from this model.

It did not work for my comcast cable. I am planning to take it to comcast and see if they can make it work.
