This was exactly what I was looking for to work with my existing Comcast cable box. The only problem was the "Cable" button was locked and I did not know that until I searched around on the internet for about 30 min. I think the seller should send a note with the remote, because the directions do not tell you how to do this.
How to unlock:
1. Press CABLE key
2. Press and hold SETUP unit CABLE blinks twice
3. Type 982

If it blinks four times, now it's unlocked and you can assign the proper cable box code to your remote.

After my dog ate my original remote, I needed a replacement so I wouldn't get gouged by comcast. This is pretty much an exact duplicate. It has issues every now and then in term of DVR control (need to hit the "cable" (I have a combo dvr/cable box) button sometimes when it decides it wants to switch to "Alt." for no reason.)
But, other than that, works like the original.

I needed a replacement comcast remote control. Found one on amazon.com for a fraction of the price that comcast wanted to charge to replace it. Fast shipping too! The same exact remote that comcast has. Very pleased with my purchase. Works great!!!!'
Thanks Amazon!!

I received item in a timely manner. I tried to program the remote to my cable box, but it didn't work. Not sure why the coding didn't work, I used the codes off of comcast's website. I'll probably just throw the remote in the trash. Found my other remote, so not a big deal.

Maybe only the remotes with the red "ok/select" buttons, not the ones with the grey button, work for my cable boxes. However I am not to sure about that....

I've had this remote for well over 4 years. And over those 4 years, I have thrown it across the room by accident (and sometimes not...), had my cat chew on it as a chew toy, abused it, etc.

Yet, this remote has yet to give me one single problem. It's an amazing remote. It just fits so well in my hand too when watching TV. Controls almost any TV I've ever owned (RCA, Zenith, Vizio, Samsung are what I've used them on)

Never changed the batteries in the remote. So it does well on batteries (The original Phillips batteries are still inside)

The best remote I've ever owned.

This has got to be the worst remote control I've ever owned. I've gone throgh 5 in the last three years. I've experienced everything from a single button quitting to the entire remote failing. Absolutely horrible quality.
