The easiest way to program your Comcast remote to your TV or other electronic devices is by using the auto-programming method. Sometimes this can be a tedious process and requires some patience, but most of the time it works just fine and has you up and running in no time. But what was the code that worked? This tutorial will teach you how to find the Comcast remote code that was discovered during the auto-program method.
Once you have your remote programmed to your TV, DVD, or other device it’s a good idea to learn what that code was so you can write it down for future reference. This is especially useful if it took forever for the remote to find the code to begin with. What if you get a new remote, or what if some how the programming gets screwed up? That would mean having to sit there and press the CH+ button over and over again until it found the correct code. Or you can follow these simple steps and avoid having to do that again.
Turn on your TV
Press the TV button once. Then hold and press “Setup” until the red light blinks twice.
Enter the code 9-9-0. The red light should blink twice again.
Press the number 1. Wait about 3 seconds and then count the number of times the red light flashes. This is the first digit of your code. Write it down.
Press the number 2. Wait about 3 seconds and then count the number of times the red light flashes. This is the second digit of your code. Write it down.
Continue like this until you have all four or all five digits.
If the digit is a zero, then after the 3 second wait the light will not blink at all.
If you would like to learn the code for another device such as an AUX device, then press the AUX button during Step #1 instead of the TV button.
I have a Seiki SC32ht04 and cannot get the codes to work .Any suggestions . It was recommended I try 10178.
Hi Marty,
Which remote are you trying to program? Also, have you tried the auto-program method to see if the remote can find a code on its own?
I’ve tried auto and manual coding. 991 993 990 and anything else. Channel still won’t change please help
I am trying to program the Comcast remote so I can control the tv from remote (vol and channel). When I tried the auto find remote It never turned off the TV. So it was inable to find code. This TV is only 1 to 2 years old
Hi Marty,
Take a look at the programming methods found here on the website. There is an auto program method as a well as a page with all the Comcast codes that can be used to program the remote manually.
I tried setting up . . wouldn’t work . I have the little black remote and a Vizio TV . Does anyone have program code to control channel and volume please help ????
