Programming a Comcast Remote – Part 1

417 Comments

1. Worked perfectly! Thanks for the great info!

   • You’re welcome! Glad I could help.

     • The remote will not blink twice after entering 991

     • Hi Les,
       Did you make sure to hold the “Set” button long enough for it to flash twice before entering 9-9-1?

     • Hi sorry i couldn’t figure out how to leave my own comment my only option was to reply to a comment… i have a magnavox tv and the programming worked except for the power button doesnt turn the tv on or off. I clicked the link you posted on here for different codes but it showed me like 15 for magnavox and idk how to do it. Please help!

     • I’m so frustrated. I bought my daughter a new tv, but she had the batteries out. I put new ones in and programmed the remote. It works for power on/off, volume, mute, etc. but now the channels will not change. I unplugged the box for 10minutes and reset it, but still no channel changing. Any suggestions?

   • Great it works. Everything works, but the mute. Any suggestions?

   • how about an audiovox VE926 under cabinet tv?

   • I should clarify. Audiovox VE926 under cabinet TV/DVD for a comcast digital adapter? Thanks.

   • cant get the descriptive option to work. My daughter is blind

     • Hi Pat,

       Can you explain what you mean by “descriptive” option?

   • The steps worked right up until TV shutting off.but, then TV would not turn back on. Can you help me?

2. Thanks soooooo much!!

   • You’re welcome!!!

     • It did not work on my vizio 47 in idk what to do!! HELP

     • What is the model# of your TV? I’ll see if I can track down a code for you.

3. Amazing, what a life saver

   • LOL…Glad I could help rid your life of extra remotes!!!! 🙂

     • My remote works for my Dynex. it changes the volume, channel, and mute but when i try to turn it off it turns right back on. is it fixable?

     • That is definitely odd behavior. Unfortunately I have never heard of that happening and not sure of a fix for it.

     • Bought a new TV and tried your instructions. Didn’t work. Very frustrating. Plead help. It a Samsung series 5000 LED. Thanks.

     • Hi Bill,
       Have you tried all the codes here: https://www.easypctutorials.com//comcast-remote-codes-for-tv/

       Let me know if you get it going or not.

     • Thank you for linking the page with all of the codes! Extremely helpful.

4. Had to try it 2 or 3 times, but eventually, this worked! Thanks 🙂

   • Yeah, it can take a few tries. Glad you were able to get it to work though!!!!!

5. I followed the instructions, but the only thing that happes is that I can change the channel. The volume and on and off does not function.

   • Hey Ramon, if the only thing that is working is changing the channel, then it did not get programmed. Try it again and make sure to go through Step #5 nice and easy. Sometimes you can go too fast and by the time you realize the TV has turned off you’ve already pressed the “+” button an extra time. Cait, who replied above, said it took a few tries as well. Let me know how it turns out for you. If you still have trouble, leave another reply and I’ll try to help you.

     • Hey I have the same problem. The instructions didn’t worked for me. I pressed the button “+” many times but it didn’t turn off. My TV is Sony. Now the only thing that works is the channels. Do you think there is a way to reset the control so it can go back to normal? I just want my controller to work. I would really appreciate an answer back. I know that this tutorial is a little old but I need help. Thanks.

     • Hi Anthony,
       That’s weird because Sony is usually an easy brand to work with. Have you tried manually entering Sony Codes?
       If you provide your model# I may be able to track a code down for you.

       I am a little confused by what you mean “go back to normal”. When you first get a DTA remote, the channels are all you can control. You have to program it to your TV in order to turn it on/off.
       So, if you’re able to change channels then that is what I would consider “normal”. Was your remote behaving a different way previously?

6. Thank you!! I’ve been looking for this. Quick question, is there a way to turn on/off the captions?

   • You’re welcome! Glad I could help. Which captions are you referring to? I’ll be glad to help with that as well.

7. i tried it a couple times and it pretty much worked. the only thing is is that i can’t turn the t.v. by remote. i have to do it manually on the t.v. but once it’s on i can turn the channels and the volume and turn the t.v. off by the remote. but not on… any suggestions?

   • Hi Brogan,
     Thanks for the response. It depends on what kind of TV you have. Some models are weird. I have seen the exact same thing you are experiencing on a friends TV.
     The best option would be to use a specific code for your TV. You can use programmable codes as well. Instead of hitting the “+” sign you can enter in the code.
     I’m actually about to append the article to include those instructions as well. I have an article that lists remote codes for TVs.
     Start with that and if you don’t have any luck, send me the make and model of your TV and I’ll try to help you track one down.

     • How would I program this remote to an Emerson tv? Thank you

     • Hi Rach,

       Have you tried the auto-program method yet? If so, and it didn’t work, send me the model number of your TV and I’ll see if I can find a code for you.
       Have you already tried codes for Emerson TV’s?

8. thanks for a very speedy response! i though i’d have to wait days or weeks, ha. i’ll try your link and let you know

9. ok i did exactly what you said to do but now my tv shut off and wont turn back on no matter what i do. help

10. ok i did exactly what you said to do and now my tv won’t even turn back on no matter what i do,,, help me please

    • Hi Pat.
      I’ll be glad to help you, but I need a little more information. If you want you can email me through the “Contact Us” page.
      What do you mean you can’t turn your TV on no matter what you do? Do you mean just by the remote or it won’t turn on at all?

11. Black remote was working to turn on tv turn off, change volumn and mute, no longer working, it stopped working about 10 days ago, we have two of them, neither is working now, the black remote, both have brank new batteries, tv is magnavox, older model, more than 10 years old works perfect, clear nice pictures, I tried these instructions,to get the black remote to work again, but how long do I have to keep hitting + channel button before it turns off???? minutes, hours, not working, after 5 munutes, please help comcast is no help

    Karen

    • Hey Karen,
      So your remote was programmed correctly at one time? You can try resetting your DTA, which is the little box that your cable wire an TV connect to. Simply turn it off for about five minutes and then plug it back in. Programming the remote using the automatic method can require some patience when it comes to pressing the “+” button. I’ve seen it work immediately and I’ve seen it take a while before it finds a code.

      You can try manually programming it by simply entering the codes for Magnavox instead of pressing “991” and the “+” button. Simply press the “Set” button until it blinks twice and then enter the TV code and press “Set” again. If it doesn’t work, try the next code. I have a list of TV codes here on the website.

      Try that and if you are still having trouble, contact me here again and I’ll see if I can help you further.

12. I have seriously tried everything above, My remote could only change the volume on my t.v. before, after trying everything above. It no longer changes the volume, all it will do is change the channel. I have an emerson LCD Tv, I tried every code on your site, I tried just using the set button and the + channel, which also didnt work :/ please help.

    • AJ, try code 11864 for your Emerson. Let me know if it works or not. If it doesn’t, I’ll try to track another one down for you.

      • Amazing!!! I tried everything then #11864 and it worked!!! Thanks SOoooooo much!

      • Awesome!! You’re welcome!

13. This is not working man I have a vizio flat screen plzzz help me I lost my vizo remote. To so that makes it X10 worse. Lol

    • Hey Sharif,

      Try code 0178. If that doesn’t work, try codes from LG and Zenith.

14. I’ve tried everything too. I have channel control, but no volume or no power. I’ve tried the 991 and after hitting the + sign-it never turns off. I have a list of 10 codes for the Sansui. I’ve tried all of them with no avail. We’ve had this tv for over 10 years and when we set it up on cable-comcast came out and programmed it and we’ve never had a problem since. They said they won’t come out to re-program without a charge. So I guess I’m out of luck. It’s such an old TV I don’t want to spend money on it! Thanks

    • Hey Darla,
      Try using codes from LG. They have been partners with Sansui for while. Also, sometimes you have to be patient when searching for the code using the “+” method 🙂

15. awesome!!! thanks worked on the first try.

    • Great!! You’re welcome!

16. The LG codes didn’t work, but…..the 991 did! Thanks so much. It’s been a real frustrating ordeal-but after several tries–it worked! Thank you!

    • That’s great Darla! I’m glad you were able to get it to work! As far as the frustrating part…I know what you mean 🙂

17. I have tried all the the steps and repeated them. All I cant get to work is the volume and on/off button. Please help me, it’s very frustrating. 🙂

    • I’ve found that sometimes you literally have to sit and press the “+” key for a while until it finds the code. If that isn’t working for you see if you can find a code here . If so, try programming it manually by following the manual method found here . Is your TV an older model? Sometimes this can pose a problem. If you still can’t get it to work, send me the make and model of your TV and I’ll help you track down the right code.

18. I kept trying and it still didn’t work so here’s some info, Durabrand Model: DU1901, Thank you for responding.

    • Hi Tyler,

      Try the following code: 10463

      Hopefully that one will work for you! If not, let me know and I’ll see if I can find another one.
      Also, it looks like the company Funai makes Durabrand TVs, so you might try codes for Funai as well. I’ve found
      that this works in some cases.

19. Easy instructions and an easy fix. Thank You!

    • Hi Dave,
      Happy to hear that!! Thanks for the comment.

20. thank u excellent info

    • You’re welcome!!

21. Hi there–it’s me again. The 991 works to re-program the remote–but it won’t stay programmed. I am hitting the set button until it flashes twice–but then it doesn’t stay that way. I’ve had to re-program it 5 or 6 times. The last time I did it–it only stayed for as long as I had the television on. The next time I went to turn it on–it didn’t work again. Maybe I have other problems?

    • Hi Darla,
      Hmmm. I haven’t come across that issue before. It sounds like it is getting reset somehow. I will look into for you, but in the meantime I would suggest taking it back to Comcast and trade it in for a new one. I’m sure that is quickly becoming annoying 🙂

    • You might also try power cycling the actual DTA box. Simply unplug the power adapter from the DTA box, wait a few seconds and then plug it back in.
      That may help. The boxes themselves can get out of whack sometimes.
      Keep me posted.

22. Hey ive tryed the 991 nd it only turns on and off but i cant change channels nd it happens when i try the codes as well please help me

    • Hi Alan,

      1. When you say it turns on/off, are you referring to your TV or the DTA box?
      2. Do you have volume control?
      3. If all else fails, send me your Make and Model of your TV and I’ll help you track down the correct code.

23. I have tried the above recommended procedure and tried all the Sony codes and I still cannot get it to work. I have a Sony KDL-32LL150. Any help would be much appreciated. I’ve getting frustrated.

    • Hi Sabrina,
      Sometimes it takes a while for the auto program method to find the right code. It can be frustrating at times.
      Sony seems to have a reputation of being problematic as well. Keep trying and I will see if I can track down a code
      for your model.

      • I have a Sony and I use code 10000 and it seemed to work perfectly fine the only problem I have is I’m missing a channel and I don’t know how to add them back on a cable channel

      • Paula,
        Are you missing a channel on the TV or a cable channel?

24. this is not working for me. I press the set button till it blinks twice. and then i let go of that button and dial the 911 but it never blinks twice after that. nor does it blink twice when I hold the set button down 🙁 I just got this box in my room. I plugged it in and it said it was loading the channels and it loaded to 100 percent. now the comcast logo is flashing on my screen. and the little green button is flashing on the cable box. so I was trying to program my remote to turn the box off and on while its still plugged in. I have a mafnavox tv.

    • Hi Nissa,

      Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. I’d like to mention that the code is 9-9-1, instead of 9-1-1. I don’t know if that was a typo or not.
      Also, if you are not getting a picture it sounds like you may need to call the 800 number and activate your DTA box. It’s pretty quick and Comcast
      has an automated system that sends an activation ping to the DTA.
      Try it again using 9-9-1 and if you are still having trouble, reply back and I’ll see if I can help you troubleshoot it. 🙂

25. I got it to turn the tv off but it wont let me change the channel it has always just done the volume and the on/off. Is there anyway I can do the channel?

    • Hey Amanda,
      That’s a little weird. You shouldn’t have lost your ability to change channels. Try doing a reset on the remote and try again. If you are still having trouble, send me the make and model of your TV and I’ll help you track down the proper code. If you need help resetting the remote, I listed the procedure in the comments section here.

26. everything works but my channels. it is a samsung tv

    • Hey Brette,

      As I just replied to Amanda, that’s weird. You shouldn’t be losing your ability to change channels. Follow the same steps as I described to her. If not, send me the model number of your TV and I’ll help you find a code as well.

27. !!! you are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks !!!

    • Not a problem!!! Glad I could help!

28. I followed the procedure and the tv turned off. I hit set and the remote blinked twice. Now the tv won’t turn back on. This happened to two tv’s. They are both dead. They don’t turn on manually or with the old remote. Comcast doesn’t know what to do. Do you? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

    • Hi Joe,
      Man, I hate that you are having that kind of trouble. I have never heard of that happening before. I am completely baffled that you can’t even turn your TV on with the old remote or by pressing the power button on the TV. The programming happens to the remote, not the TV so there should be no way you could “unprogram” the TV itself. I have no clue, but I will look into it for you.
      In the meantime, you might try resetting the remote and see if that helps. You can do this by following the same programming procedure except enter the code 980. You should see the remote light blink four times. This is called an OPS reset and should restore the remote back to its “out of box” state. There are other resets, but I would NOT recommend them as they will completely disassociate the remote from the cable box. Give the OPS reset a try and I will do a little research and see if I can find anything that might help you.

    • I had the same as you yesterday. No one at Comcast knew what to do and every single one of them claimed they never heard of this before. I knew I was not the only person this happened to, and I’m sure there are other cases. Did you ever get it resolved? what did you have to do?

29. Thx so much made it so easy a 12 year old can do it once again thz 🙂

    • You’re welcome man! Glad I could help!!!

30. Hello, I’ve been researching this problem for a few hours and have tried everything. I have a SHARP LCDtv so I tried code 10093 and the 991 code! I cannot get my remote to change the channels; it will only control volume and power! Thank you!

    • Hi Jordan,
      Try unplugging the power cable from the DTA cable box for about 10 seconds and then plugging it back in. This “soft reset” may help.
      If not, contact me with another comment or through the contact page and I’ll see what else I can do to help.

31. I did everthing you said and it did turn off but it wont turn on

    • What about the rest of the functions? Channels and volume?

32. It still isn’t working. Only volume and power-cannot change channels :/

    • Jordan,
      The fact that you can turn your TV on/off and you can control the volume tells me that the programming worked because these are not functions you can accomplish with the remote straight out of the box. So I’m a little confused, and when troubleshooting gets to this point, it’s always best to go back to the basics. So, here we go. Programming the remote allows you to control your TVs volume and power, but changing channels happens through the DTA box, not your TV. Your TV should remain on channel 3 or 4 (whichever you set it to). Your remote should have been pre-programmed to the box it came with. Were you able to change channels before you used the 9-9-1 method? If so, then somehow it has become “unprogrammed”. If not, then it was never associated with your DTA box to begin with. Please let me know the answer to the above and I will continue to help you troubleshoot (that’s why I created this website). Don’t give up 🙂

33. Fast and easy. Thank you very much!
    I did this from my EVO btw 🙂

    • Awesome!! You’re welcome!!

34. I cant get it to work for a small hand-me-down magnavox in my kitchen does everything except when i start pressing the channel button it never shuts off

    • Hey Mike,
      Sometimes older model TVs have a problem with the auto-programming method. The same holds true for TV/VCR combo models. If you’ll send me the model number of your TV I’ll help you find a code that will work.

35. Jay

    I have an older model sharp tv. I lost the remote for it but have the small Comcast remote. I’ve tried every code on comcasts site and your standard 991 nothing works! I can change the channel but can not adjust the volume or turn power on/off. Help!

    I’ve even used a different Comcast remote. I don’t know the model number. Can’t find it anywhere on the tv

    • Hey Annette,
      Sometimes with the older models, it can be hard to find the correct code. Without the Model# it will be even more difficult. One thing you might try is finding the serial# on the TV. It will most likely be on the back and you’ll probably have to search for it. Look for SN or S/N. Using this you might be able to find out what model it is. If you find the serial#, send it to me and I’ll help you track down a code.

36. Works great on my SONY, not so much on my Panasonic CTN-1051R

    • Well one out of two isn’t bad! 🙂 Try the code 10051 for your Panasonic. If that doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll try to find another code.

      • Hi, I have an older Panasonic TV/VCR Combo, Model PV-M1369. Cannot get any codes to work. I can change channels with Comcast DTA remote, but cannot turn on or off or adjust volume. Thanks!

      • Hey Laurel,
        TV/VCR combos can be troublesome, especially if it’s an older model. It’s hard to find the right code. Have you tried the 9-9-1 method?

37. Thanks bro big help. Just for yours or anyone else’s knowledge.. I have a sharp and the 991 code didn’t work but the 10093 code did. With mine it was programmed at the 2nd step. What I mean is when I went to change the channel it didn’t turn the tv off, but it did program it. thanks again bruh

    • You’re welcome man. Glad you got it working and thanks for the info about the code!!!

38. Hey! I’ve tried everything. My Xfinity remote, and a RCA universal remote. Nothing will program to my Memorex tv! It’s making me want to pull my hair out!

    • Hi Hope,

      Exactly which remote are you trying to program? It sounds like it’s a different one than the DTA remote. The silver Comcast remote perhaps?

39. Well the problem is that my TV is skipping over channels 1-5, and channel 4 is what Comcast uses. I flipped through all my channels and I can get like a unclear picture and sound on like 34. I tried to program my little Comcast remote to my Memorex tv to change the channel to 4, but it hasnt been working. I’ve also tried a RCA universal remote.

    • It sounds like you have a TV issue more than a remote issue. When you program the little black remote, it will only control the basic functions, such as volume and power. The channels are still changed through the DTA box. Your TV may have been auto-programmed a long time upon initial setup and skipped channels that it did not find a signal on. You will either need to turn those channels on or conduct another auto-search on your TV. You should have a menu button on your TV that will allow you to do this, and you can navigate using the volume and channel buttons on the TV. If you do not have a menu button, try the following:

      1. Unplug your TV and let it sit for a few minutes and it should reset itself.
      2 Figure out how to program an aftermarket remote to your TV so you can get access to the menu and setup functions.

      Hope this helps!

40. You are the man!!! Thanks for the great help!!!

    • You’re welcome! Glad I could help!

41. Thank you! You have been so helpful!

    • You’re welcome! Once you are able to get a picture on Ch 3 or 4. Try programming the black comcast remote again. If you need help, you can always comment here!

42. Do you have a code for Emerson tv/vcr combo EWC1301? thx

    • Hi Foster,

      Try this one: 11913

      • thanks. i tried that one along with all the comcast emerson codes. the auto scan did originally find a code and the remote controlled the tv. then it stopped.

      • You say the auto program method worked originally? Not sure why it wouldn’t have retained the programming, but I would try it again.

43. I’m trying to enable SAP so that I can watch programs in Spanish. (Currently when a program says it’s available in SAP in Spanish and I click the “language” button on my remote, English is the only option.) Everything I find online says that I have to press the “menu” button on the Comcast remote to enable SAP, but this little black Comcast remote has no menu button. How do I access the menu?

    Thanks,
    Ginny

    • That’s weird. The language button should do the trick. I’ve switched back and forth myself between languages, so I’m not sure why you’re Language button isn’t working. It’s quite possible you have a defective unit. You may have to contact Comcast for this one.

44. Hello,

    My back remote has been programmed for my Sony but the power button works but not wont change channels. Any ideas?

    • The channels should be changing via the DTA box and your TV should be staying on Channel 3 or 4 whichever the switch is set to.
      Are you saying you can’t change channels at all?

45. Hey, I have a Vizio 32″ Class LCD HDTV E-Series and I have tried to program with the 9-9-1 code and i get it to the press CH+ until the tv turns off’ but it just scrolls through channels and I pressed it close to 300 times. It’s done that a few times now. I have also tried the 11758, 11756, 10864, and 10885 codes for Vizio and they don’t work either; I tried them all twice. Do you have any other suggestions?

    • Hmmm. Vizio’s are usually pretty cooperative. One thing I noticed you said, if the TV is turning off then it has found the proper code for your TV. Double check to make sure you press the “Set” button immediately afterwards and that the red light flashes twice. This confirms that the code has been set. Also, sometimes there is a delay when pressing the CH+ button, and by the time the TV has turned off, you’ve actually pressed the CH+ an extra time, putting it on the wrong code. Hope this helps. If not, hit me up and I’ll help you troubleshoot it some more.

      • It doesn’t turn off. It gets to the point that it should and it goes through channels forever. It never turns off from pressing CH+.

      • Double check to make sure that the red light is blinking twice after you have entered the 9-9-1 code confirming that the remote is in search mode.
        Also, try programming it using remote codes from LG as well. Keep me updated.

    • Hi there, I had the same problem. I thought my remote had been programmed, but then tried to change the volume and turn the TV off and it didn’t work.

      I tried to program it using 9-9-1, but the DTA would just change channels and not go into program mode. I verified each time that I pressed the ‘Set’ button long enough to see the red light blink twice. I also tried all the codes for both LG and Vizio for my Vizio 42″, and they didn’t work. On a hunch, I decided to change to new AA batteries and then tried to auto program it again, and it worked!

      I can now turn the TV off and on, change channels and use volume controls from the Comcast remote.

      Hope this helps someone.

46. I have a comcast tv box hooked to a emerson tv. I programed the tv but now I cannot turn the cable box off. I can change channels, volume and the tv on and off. The cable box remains on all the time. Tried reseting the box by unplugging for about five minutes with no luck. Thanks in advance.
    Rick

    • Rick,
      There is absolutely no harm in leaving the DTA box on. It’s actually designed to stay on. In fact, it’s better if you do leave it on. Periodically Comcast sends signals to the box.
      A friend of mine unplugged his for a while and had problems with it later. According to Comcast support, if the box does not receive a “keep alive” signal periodically, it deactivates after 30 days.

47. EreI did as you said it didn’t work only turned the channel up. Before the only things that weren’t working were the power button and the volume. So now after pressingthe set key and 991 it only turns the channel up and never off I have a LG tv

    • Hi Gailina,
      What is the model number of your LG?

48. You are awesome, I’ve been trying to do this for a full year.

    • You’re welcome!! Glad I could help!

49. Worked Great Thank you sooooo much. – also if you lose the audio on some of your channels try this. I called comsast – “the man suggested I go to a channel where there is no audio and press the language button on the remote; this should fix it. If it does not call back and speak with tech support”.

    • You’re welcome! And thanks for the tip!

50. I need specific instructions for using the FAV button

    • Hi John,
      What kind of instructions do you need? Are you trying to program the FAV button to do a custom macro or function, or are you just trying to use it as intended?

51. I have a Coby. Your instructions worked great the second time around. I must not have followed the properly the first time. Thank you

    • You’re welcome! Glad you decided to give it another try!

52. Hi Jay-
    I’m stuck. I have an LXI TV/VCR model number 304 44700000. I have tried codes: 10154, 10047, 10156, 10178, 10017, 10054, 10747, 10037 with no luck. I also tried the 9-1-1 library look up but stopped after aobut 100 inputs. Do you have a secret code or should I keep going on the library look up?
    Thanks much!!

    • I meant the 9-9-1 lookup.

      • Never mind. Got it after about 300 hits of the CH+ button under 9-9-1.

      • Well, I hate you had to press the button that many times, but I’m glad you were able to get it working!

53. Works perfect. Good info man! Saved me a lot of time. Wish all things good be this easy..lmao

    • That’s awesome man. I love it when I read comments like these!

54. Got in on the third “+”..lol Thanks again!

55. I’ve tried this like 5 times now and can only use the volume any ideas?

56. I meant turn the channel but no volume or on/off

    • Hi Wes,
      If all you have is channel ability then apparently the remote has not found the code for your TV. There are a couple things to check.
      1. If the TV is turning off when you press the CH+ button, are you remembering to press the Set button to lock the code in?
      2. What is your TVs brand and model#? I can see if I can help you track down a code that will work.
      Let me know how it goes and keep me updated!

57. Thank you so much!!! I tried calling both LG and Comcast, and both were very rude and unhelpful. They instructed me to go out and buy a universal remote because it was not possible to use just one remote any other way. I appreciate you taking the time to put this online to help others! A++++

    • Hey Lauren,
      You are very welcome!! I’m glad I could help!

58. Everyyhing works but I can not change the channel

    • Hey Ashley,
      The remote should still change the channels via the DTA box, not the actual TV itself. There are some other people who have this problem. Try searching the comments section. Is your TV a newer or older model?

59. My tv channels change after going by your steps but the tv does not power on or off and the volume does not work. Any thing els I could try? after hitting 991 and then the chellel button the channels start to change but tv doesn’ever cut off.

    • Hey Tanya,
      Are you making sure the red light blinks twice? This signifies that the remote is in auto-program mode. Sometimes it can take a while for the remote to find a code as well.
      If you are still having trouble, let me know the make and model# of your TV and I’ll help you track down a specific code.

60. This worked!

61. I have a olevia 237-t11 flat screen tv. I tired the 911 thing and my tv never turned off after. Can u please help me.

    • Hey Vonn,
      Hmmmm, I’ve never heard of that brand of TV before. That one may be difficult to find.
      I’ll search around and see if I can help you find a code. If you end up finding one, please post it for other readers!

62. It’s not working on my tv. I have a Sanyo

    • Hey Douglas,
      Sometimes it can take a while for the remote to find the right code. Patience is definitely required!
      If you are still having trouble, send me the model# of your TV and I’ll see if I can help you track down a code.

63. took about 5 seconds worker perfectly

64. Thank you very much, this worked perfectly & quickly.

    • Awesome! You’re welcome!!

65. Is there anyway to do the reverse? We just got a new Vizio M370SL and would like to be able to just use the remote that came with the tv, not the Comcast black remote which is only used to change channels. I’ve googled all over and not found anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!!

    • Hey Ashley,
      To my knowledge, it is not possible to do that. But that’s an interesting thought, I’ll look into it and see if it can be done.

66. I tried but when i pressed the button set it blinked then i waited for about 25 seconds and it blinked twice is that suppose to happen?

    • Hey Lillian,
      Yes, the red light is supposed to blink twice. It should do it when you hold the Set button and then again when you press 9-9-1. Then, once your TV has turned off, you press Set one more time and it will blink twice then as well.

67. My grandma hs an Audiovox tv, model: VE1020. I can only get the channel buttons to work. The volume and power buttons will not work. I’ve tried everything, entering the codes, 991, and nothing works. Please help.

    • Hi Allison,
      Try the code 1-0-8-4-6

68. The 9-9-1 code isnt working and I have a sharp LCD Tv. I tried 10093 but when I pressed channel up it simply just changed the channel via cable. Any help? :[

    • Hey Troy,

      If you send me the specific model# of your TV I might be able to help you better. In the meantime, try code 11407. Keep me updated.

69. Jay
    I tried your method a handful of times and the remote still wont sync with my TV. Its a Memorex MLT1532. I also tried all the codes that are provided in the Comcast/xfinity website. Is there a way to program a DTA remote to this TV? Thanks in advance!

    • Hi Victor,
      Try code 11892. If that doesn’t work let me know.

      • It didnt’t work. Tried it several times again with the code you gave and the 991 method :/

      • Hmmm. Let me see if I can find a different one for you.

70. I have Vizio. When I try the first method the TV turns off. When I turn it back on the volume works but not the channels. I can’t get any of the codes to work for more than 1 channel change then it stops. Can you help?

    • Hi Carrie,

      Make sure there is a straight line of sight from the remote to the little DTA box. You can also try changing the default channel on the DTA box from CH3 to CH4. Then change your TV to that channel as well. Let me know how it goes.

71. I have programmed using the 911 and I can control the volume, mute, and on/off. I cannot change channels. I seem to remember being able to change the channels when the comcast guy was still at my house. It appeared to work only that day. I watched the same one channel for days and decided to look in my book to program it and did this last night and now can do the above as mentioned but still cannot change the channel. I do not know how to program my TV and I do not know the code. I see there are several codes for a Magnavox. I have a Magnavox with build in DVD and the code is 26MD301B/F7. If I need to program to a specific TV type, I need to know the appropriate code and how to do it. Can you help me?

    • Hi Amy,

      I will see if I can find a code for you.

72. Took three tries but it finally worked! Thank you so much!!

    • Awesome!! You’re welcome!

73. Hello Jay
    My dad has two different TV/DVD/VCR sets that I am unable to program the comcast remote to.
    One is a Panasonic model PV-DF205. The other is a Sylvania model 6719DC.
    Can you help me find the correct codes?
    Thank you !
    Andy

    • Hi Andy,

      TV/VCR combos are usually finicky about being programmed. 🙂
      Try these:
      Panasonic 10051
      Sylvania 11963

      Let me know if they work or not!

74. Hello Jay !!! I have a Panasonic Tv/video combo, I have one of the little black box an the little black Comcast remote, I followed your instructions, but to no avail, it did not work, is there any way you can help ?

    • Hi Pet,

      What is the model number of your TV? I’ll see if I can find a code for you.

75. Hi, I have an insignia and for some reason this isn’t working, any ideas?

    • Hi Allison,

      If you’ll send the model of your TV I’ll see if I can find a code for you.

76. It won’t let me change the channel but I can turn the volume up and down and turn my tv on and off

    • Hey Russell,
      Double check and make sure you are actually turning the TV off and not just the DTA box.
      If this is the case, then the programming did not take. Try the 9-9-1 method again or can try
      programming it using a code.

77. The Tv turned off but when I hit the set button to finish step 7 it only flashes once not twice and nothing is therefor sync’d

    • Double check and make sure you are following all the steps.
      If you are still having problems, send me the make and model of your TV.

78. CAN’T GET IT … IT FLASSHES TWICE ON SET AND 991 BUT WILL NOT CHANGE CHANNELS TO THE POINT IT SHUTS OFF TV..SYLVANIA FLATSCREEN

    • Larry,

      What is the brand and model number of your TV? I’ll see if I can track down a code for you.

    • Sometimes it can a while Larry. And I mean a while. Try again and go through the CH+ button slowly with some patience.
      If you still can’t get it to work, send me the make and model of your TV and I’ll see if I can find a code for you.

    • Hey Larry,

      Sometimes it can take a while, I do mean a while for the remote find the proper code. It can require some serious patience!
      If you send me the make and model of your TV I’ll see if I can find a code for you.

79. I’ve tried the 991 method and cannot get the remote to program. We have a TCL flat screen purchased within the past 2 years. I cannot read the model number as its hanging and the bracket covers up the model number. Any ideas?

80. Didn’t work for me, but I have a VERY OLD Sony Trinitron TV.
    Do you have a TV code for an old Sony Trinitron that will work with the Comcast DTA? (I went through all 12 of the ones listed in the remote manual, as well as a couple more given to me by Comcast. Two of the codes turn the TV off but unfortunately do not turn it back on.

    • Figured it out.
      Press and hold Setup until red link blinks twice.
      Enter 1 0 0 0 0
      Press Pwr.
      Off went the TV and back on again.

      Yeh!

      • Nice!! Glad you were able to get it working!!

81. Just so you know, I pulled the little box out from behind the tv, the one that has the cable to it from the wall and a cable to the tv. I exposed the sensor, as that was my problem!!! Couldnt believe how easy it was. That was it, the sensor wasnt seeing the remote, now I have it to where I can see it and it works fine.

    • LOL…yeah that sounds about right! Sometimes it’s the simplest thing that solves the problem!
      There should be an IR remote extender in the box that your DTA came in. It plugs into the back and has a remote sensor attached to it.
      I think it even comes with some double sided tape. Glad you were able to get everything working!!!

82. Thanks it work perfect

    • Awesome!!

83. Works great! Thanks for the “how to”

    • You’re welcome! Glad it helped you!

84. Hey,
    I have pretty much tried every LG code and Zenith code I could find and I can’t get it to work. I have tried the 9-9-1 code multiple times with no luck. I have a LG model 37LG30. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    • Hey Andy,
      Have you tried 10178 ?
      Is your TV an older or newer model?

      • Hey Jay,
        10178 did not work. I purchased the TV new around 2008 if that helps at all. Appreciate the help.

85. Awesome! Wish this was the first site I came accross. Where’s the “vote up” button?

    • LOL. Thanks! You can always share it or give a +1 on Google!!!

86. Thank you very much. worked perfectly!

    • Hey Victor,
      Awesome!! You’re welcome!

87. I followed all of the instructions and the tv shut off after pressing the “+” multiple times but the power button is still not turning on the tv. Any suggestions?

    • Never mind I did it for the tenth time and it finally worked! Haha Thanks! Couldn’t have done it with out your help!

      • Hey Kendra,
        That’s awesome!! Glad you were able to get it to work!

88. ive tried but all i can do is change volume and turn the tv off do you have a code for a samsung and a motorola cable box so i can changhe the channel

89. Wow! Jay you sure are a very patient person to help everyone out with their problems on how to fix the remote. During my time we had to get up off the couch and turn on the tv, change the channel, adjust the antenna and lower the volume. Then the remote with the long cord came along that attached to the tv. Your directions were very helpful. Thanks for your time. :0)

90. This does not work for us… Please help.

91. I just bought a RCA TV/DVD combo model is DECK133R. I have Comcast and the tv is hooked up to a converter box in a back bedroom. I have tried all of the codes listed at the Comcast site, and also the 991 method.
    None of these worked, though the 991 method turned the tv off and on but no volume control. Help!

    • Hit the set button until it blinks twice. Press 993 the red light will blink twice. Press 1 and the light will blink 4 times. This should fix it. It just worked on mine.

92. Thanks Lynda, that worked! Hope this helps others also.

93. Tried several time to program the remote and finally got it so the TV will shut on and off but will not change a channel.

94. i did what you wrote but the tv never turned off, any other ideas?

    please help

    thanks

    • How many times did you try hitting the CH+ button? Sometimes it can take a while. If you’re still having trouble, send me the make and model of your TV and I’ll see if I can track down a code for you.

95. Great instruction! My lovely boxer is addicted to tv remotes, and I sat down thinking this would be an all day task programming the cable box remote to the tv. Found this article, tv was programmed in less than 5 minutes!! Thanks again!!

    • You’re welcome Aleaha!!

96. Thanks that helped me out a lot.

    • You’re very welcome!!

97. My Wife bought me a Curtis led flat panel tv for christmas, I tryed to setup the remote, everything seem to go right but i can’t shut the tv off or on and I have no control over the volume, I followed the directions to a t, but when I push the ch+ nothing works and yes I did it slowly, nothing happens. please help.

    • Hey Michael,

      It may not be able to be auto-programmed. That happens sometimes.
      It looks like you’re going to have to manually input the code. Try all the codes listed for Curtis TVs.
      Try this one as well: 11326

      Let me know how it goes!

98. Hello… I got a Samsung led flat screen. I used all the program codes in the manual…some did turn the tv off, muted and volume worked but could end change the channel. I used the 991 code as well. Same thing.. Volume mute work but still can’t change the channel. Please help!!!!!

    • Hey Jeneine,

      Try this code, I recently had to help a friend with an LG and this one worked.

      11625

      Let me know if it works for you!

99. Hi I have an Apex Digital LE2312 TV and I can’t get my black Comcast remote to program. I have tried every code and even used the 9 9 0 method to look up the code. When I used the 9 9 1 method it finally worked… But the remote only adjusts the volume and turns the TV off – not on and doesn’t change the cable channels. Any suggestions?

    • Hi Courtney,

      1. Try holding the “set’ button until it flashes twice
      2. Press “993” and the light will blink twice
      3. Press “1” and the light will blink four times

      See if that fixes it. This was a solution found by one of our readers!!

100. is it possible to program this remote to “block” channels you don’t want? my original panasonic remote was awesome, and when i hit channel up/down, it only went the the channels, not every darn channel that ever existed! grrrrrrr……

     • I’m not sure. I’ll get back to you on that one.

101. This was great! Thank you so much. No more pesky two-remotes for this office.

     • Awesome Harry!!

102. my remote only changes the channel not the volume or the power to the tv,

     • Hi Kier,
       If that’s the case then you can have not successfully synced your remote to the TV. Have you tried the 9-9-1 autoprogram method? If it didn’t work give the brand and model# of your TV and I’ll help you track down a code.

103. I have tried multiple times. My problem is that everything works except the tv will not turn back on once I turn it off. It is a Element ELDFT406. Thanks so much for your website.

     • Hi Ray,
       Did you make sure to hit the Set button after it turned the TV off? This is what sets the code and should allow you to use the remote normally. I’m not sure about the Element brand, but I’ll see if I can track a code down for you. Keep me updated.

104. Recently bought a Proscan PLDED3996A trying to program it to the little black comcast box. tried 991 that didn’t work, I also tried 10019,10029,10030,10047,10178,10466,10747,11347,11178,11356,11447,11922,20522 to no avail, anybody got a magic # that works. Thanks

105. I bought my mom an orion tv. got it set up ok with comcast remote but now remote
     won’ t change channels under 100 manually. I can channel up and down and page up and down
     and las channel. but to type any channel under 100 it wont change to I.

106. I have a TCL flatscreen model number K401T302215 2010 and I cannot get a code to work. Please help

     • Hi Carrie,
       I’m not familiar with the TCL brand, therefore I have not been successful finding a code. Have you tried the auto-program method?

107. I have a Sony LCD Multi Function Display we use for our tv and for years it has been working fine. The remote seemed to have broke and can’t seem to link up the Comcast remote. To make matters worse the tv needs to be on channel 3 to get the cable and it is stuck on 4 and we can’t get back to 3 manually for some odd reason. HELP!!!!!

108. I did your steps correctly, but only will turn tv on and off no volume control. But now have a bigger problem, the buttons on the actual tv are not responding!! Any help please??

109. I have a chronic problem of my tv spontaneously turning off ever since I got this little black box that Comcast now requires. I’ve changed boxes twice, Comcast sent out a tech and he claimed he’s never heard of this happening. They don’t know what to do and my tv will sometimes shut off 4 ot 5 times in several hours. On top of that, they charge me for this piece of junk. Any ideas?

     Thanks

     • Wow! That is extremely odd behavior. I’m not sure what to tell you. I have not heard of that happening either.

110. HELP! I’m trying
     to program my 85 year old moms new “easy”remote. I have tried all the codes and did the 991 thing to no avail. I get the power to work and the volume, but not the channels. We need help, please. She has a older 36” Sony tv with the big box on the back if that helps. Her fingers are very arthritic to use the old remote. 🙁

     • Hi Jill,
       What is the model number of your TV? It may need to be programmed manually.

111. Hello Jay, I recently hooked up an Element LED HDTV (ELEFT325 and your method worked EXCEPT I can not power on the TV. Any ideas, suggestions, fixes?PS I already reset the box by cutting the power for a little bit. Thanks in advance!

112. My black Comcast box will not blink when I push the set button
     It’s on.

     • Hi Judy,
       It should be the light on your remote that blinks, not the actual Comcast box that is hooked to your TV.

113. I lost my code sheet and I really needed this!!!! It worked perfectly THANKYOU!!!

     • You’re welcome! Glad it helped you!

114. My remote still doesn’t work .. Do you have a code for Polaroid

     • Hey Ashley,
       What is the model number for your Polaroid TV?

       • Need help polaroid LCD TV doesn’t work with 9-9-1, it won’t change channels. My model is TLA04011C
         I’ve tried the “best code for tv” and scanning and it won’t change the channels its so frustrating.

       • Hey George,

         Try this one 11687. Let me know if that works.

       • Thank you for the reply. Actually what fixed my TV and remote problem was done by REMOVING the “IR” (sp?) cable that connects to the small black cable box. The Tech people who came to my house told me that it sometimes disrupts the connection to the remote and tv. Now my tv works fine. Removing this wire is usually a solution and is sometimes not needed unless the box is being stored in a secluded place such as behind the tv, a home theater system etc. Hope that helps any other users!

115. I have a Panasonic. I got the light to blink twice. And put in 991. I’ve been pushing the + sign over and over. Nothing…. 🙁

116. I had an extra silver one…it works when the black one would not. Go figure!!!

117. Thanks for the information! It works! B|

118. Have old GE set. Picked up new remote the other day, but this one won’t program either. Won’t blink 2x after 991. Stuck on Channel 8, Ugh boring! Help

     • Hi Maureen,
       Older TVs can be problematic. What is the exact make and model? I’ll see if I can find a code for you.

119. Hi,

     I have tried this method as well as the manual method with the code 12017, I have an older Coby tv. Any ideas?

     Thanks!

     • Hi April,
       What is the exact make and model of your TV?

120. Ihave 3 remote controlls for tvs the little black box they should take all of them and throw in river they turn tv onn and offf volume works fine but you have to be right on top of tv and pointing it right black pick up to change channel and sometimes works and sometimes not called comcast they are of no help

     • Sounds like you do not have a clear line of sight to the black box. Make sure you have an unobstructed line to the box. If you want to tuck it away, there should have been IR extender included in the box. It looks like a little black orb. Should have some double sided tape for mounting. It plugs into the back of the black box.

       • no wrong answer have little remote receiver eye have moved it up and down there is nothing but air between remote and little black receiver would rather have old stile box they actually worked have box with dvr on big screan works perfect called comcast they could care less and i am paying for three of these non operating devices

121. I have a Vizio VO22L flatscreen tv. I have tried the following codes that were posted in the remote papers (11758, 11756, 10864, and 10885) all to no avail. I have tried the 9-9-1 option. Perhaps I flew through it too fast but it never turned off (indicating I got the right code.) Help…

     • Hmmm. Try the 9-9-1 method again and go through it a little slower. Sometimes it can take a while and all that is needed is some patience. However, 11758 should have worked. That code pretty much works with just about every Vizio TV I have come across. Keep me updated.

122. Thanks soo much before mine only changed channels and you had to use the actual tv remote (the panasonic one) instead of the xfinity one and it was a pain! thanks hun – FIona

     • You’re welcome!!!

123. I have a Toshiba – it’s old – I have tried everything. I believe the model is 36A43 I have tried the codes and the auto setup. Nothing works! I can only change the channel not the volume or turn it on or off. Help!

     • Try this code: 10156

       Older TVs are a little problematic. They can be finicky when it comes to finding the right code. I have seen in some instances where a code could not be found.
       Let me know if that one works!!

124. Hi…my remote works fine, I was curious what the info button does. Is it like a guide button?? The only thing I dont like about this remote is there is no way to see whats coming on. I hope the info button.is the guide button. PLEASE HELP!!!! Thank you sooo much

125. I found this online. It has the codes for various TV’s. here’s what I did. I held the set button until it blinked twice, entered the code and then pushed the power button and it shut my TV off and then I pushed the power button and my TV came on and works fine now with the remote.

     http://www.comcast.com/MediaLibrary/1/1/Customers/Customer_Support/Digital_Cable_with_OD/Digital_Cable/remotes/11412-DTARemote.pdf

126. Hello…I called Comcast because the volume and on/off button stopped working on my remote. We tried re-setting the remote with the codes they provided, but they didn’t work. I since have received a new remote (the smaller black one) and digital adapter. Once again, tried re-programming, but didn’t work. The channel changer works and I now have the volume working, but the on/off button still doesn’t work. I have an older model Sylvania…model number SRT2319A. Any thoughts? Thanks….

     • Hey Sloan,
       Try this:
       Hold the setup button until the red light flashes twice
       Enter code 10000
       Press the power button.
       Let me know if that works for you.

127. Hi I did all of the steps, the TV turned off and I am able to turn up the volume and turn my TV off with the remote, but I cannot change channels. I have a MAGNAVOX TV and the 991 code doesn’t seem to work. Do you have a code that will work for my TV possibly?

128. My remote will not change the channels no matter what I do. The power an volume buttons work just fine but the numbers and the channel up/down buttons will not work. I have tried your method multiple times and nothing. This is getting frustrating. I have a Samsung tv and the model code is: TXS2782HXIXAA
     Please help!

     • Hi Kim. If your remote is controlling the TV then I would assume it has been programmed. The remote should always control the channels via the DTA box straight out of the box.
       I’ll see if what I can find out.

129. Need a code for a GE TV model 13gp239. To work with a Comcast digital adapter remote. None of the listed codes worked. Tried. 991 no luck.

     Thanks!

130. Jay,

     Trying to find a code for an Audiovox VE926 (under cabinet TV/DVD) for a Comcast Digital Adaptor remote.. Any ideas? Thanks.

     • Hey Glenn, give this one a try. 11868

131. I had it all programmed and working perfectly on my Dynex but all of a sudden the volume and power button just stop working
     Any clue as to why?

     • Im trying to program my little black comcast box. I tried the 991 code but it didn’t work. I have a panasonic tv. Please let me know what else I can do.

       • What is the model# of your TV? You can try manually programming it with a code.

     • Hey Teresa. Wow. I wish I could help on that. But I’ve never heard of that happening. Have you tried reprogramming it?

132. Thank u so much I got a new tc nd for the last 2 week’s had to get up out of bed to turn the tv on n off nd the volume nd now thanks to u I can do it all with my remote thank u so much I appreciate it

133. Thank you so much for this!! It worked beautifully! I’ll be sure to do this when I go to hotels too for when the volume button doesn’t work!

     • It blinked twice after pressing 991 but it only changes the channel. It does not turn the TV on/off and does not change the TV sound/volume.

       • You may need to do it a couple more times like some of the other commenters. I almost freaked out because I thought it was supposed to change the channel after putting in the code and pressing CH+ but it doesn’t. You just keep pressing the button until it turns off. Hope that helps.

     • You’re welcome!! And thanks for helping Josh out as well!

134. We have a 13″ MAGNAVOX model HD1305 C123
     9-9-1 did not give the little black remote control
     over ON/OFF nor VOLUME

     We would appreciate assistance.

     Thank you.

     • Hi Leonard, give 10054 a try. Let me know if it doesn’t work. I’ll try to find another one for you.

135. Need code for emerson LC320EM2F

     • Try 21268

136. It does not work in turning on..

137. Hello Jay!
     I need some help, please! I have a Sylvania LC320SLX TV. I tried the 991 code and after pressing the CH+ button 3 and a half minute the TV finally turned off, I pushed the Set button blinked twice, but after these I cannot turn on the Tv with the DTA’s remote. I also tried 10054 and 11864 codes but nothing happened. Please, help me. Thank you, PeteD

     • Hello Jay!
       It’s me again PeterD. Since my first post, I tried the following codes, but none of them worked: 10171, 11314, 10030, 10020, 10028, 10065, 10096, 11665, 11963, 991, 10054, 11864. Please, if you have any new ideas or codes please help me. Thank you PeteD

       • Hey PeterD,
         Man, it looks you have literally tried everything under the sun. I don’t have any more codes for you.
         The only suggestion I have, may be to try the codes again, maybe you skipped one? Or maybe you entered one wrong? I don’t know.
         I’m sorry man.

138. This did not work for me

     • khoyt719, What kind of TV do you have?

139. We have a LG Plasma, no code is working. The 991 code seems to work, but we are pushing the plus button for 3 minutes and it doesn’t turn off. We went to the website with the long codes, but when I input them it would just change the channel, not just flash. Please help a confused couple

     • Hey Billy,
       Sometimes the 991 method can take a LONG time, literally. I’ve seen it take up to 10-15 minutes for the remote to find a code.
       In the meantime, can you send the model number of your TV? I’ll see if I can help track down a code for you.

140. Just tried it out and it worked great. Although it did not fix why my channels stopped going up and down, but a reboot on that basic adapter that hooks up to the tv did the trick. Now with this remote hooked up to the tv we can eliminate a remote.

     • Hey John,
       That’s good to hear! Always good to have one less remote.

141. I have a Sylvania LC320SS9. It works all the way up to the pressing channel up button, it doesn’t turn off. I’ve tried pressing it at all different speeds. The remote has worked to change the channel since I got it but it won’t turn it off or adjust the volume. Unfortunately the person who sold me the tv lost the tv remote so I’m stuck getting out of bed to turn it off every night. waaahh!

     • Hey Rachel,
       Try manually programming it. Try this code: 11864

142. Yes it worked perfectly

143. A-+

144. It will turn tv off n on now…but will not turn channel?

     • Hey Amy,
       Try this:
       1. Try holding the “set’ button until it flashes twice
       2. Press “993″ and the light will blink twice
       3. Press “1″ and the light will blink four times

       That should take care of it.

145. I had to change my VIZIO tv to a different room- i can now with what you said to do get it to turn on and off volume up and down and mute but wont change the channels is there any help for this silly thing?

     • Hey Patsy,
       Check out the troubleshooting section at the bottom of the article. It describes how to fix this issue.

146. I have a Magnovox TV. The code 10230 worked for me, but unfortunately, I can’t turn the tv on without having to press the set button first, then pressing the power button 3 times. Any ideas on how to fix this? I’ve tried everything that’s been posted, but the problem hasn’t gone away. I don’t know if this is related, but when I turn on the TV “X3” appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Would that have something to do with me having to press the power button 3 times? Although, that “X3” would appear on the screen before I programmed the remote, so I don’t know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     • Claudia,
       That is the weirdest thing I have heard yet 🙂
       Let me see what I can find.

147. Jay,

     I did some digging around the internet, and it appears that unlike other manufacturers, Magnavox requires one code to turn the TV off and another one to turn the TV on. So before turning on my TV, I have to either press the Enter button or the +Vol button, and that does the trick. Same thing to turn the TV off. It’s a bit annoying, but better than pressing the power button 3 times like I was doing before. If you come across a fix where I won’t have to do this, please let me know. All the best.

148. Older GE model 27GT616…help!! I tried 991 codes, didnt work.

     • Hey Krissy,
       If the auto program method didn’t work, then you’ll need to program it manually. Try using the codes here.

149. There was a light attached to the little black box, but I NEVER had any red light blink. I had to go based on my best guess.

     GRRRR

     • Hi Wendy,
       The red light that the tutorial refers to is on the remote itself, not the DTA box. After holding the “Set” button you should see a tiny red light on the remote blink twice.
       I couldn’t tell from your comment if you got it programmed or not.

150. For two years, I have been watching my SANYO with a green message NEED TO SET UP but never knew if it was the tv or the box. Well, anyway last week the electricity went out and when it came back on the only thing the black remote would do was turn the tv on and off. Tried your directions…how long did you hold the set up button? Tried holding it while pressing 991 and without holding it while pressing 991….don’t get the second set of flashing lights. When pressing the (+) channel nothing happens. SANYO IS AT LEAST TEN YEARS OLD….could it use another code?

     • Lois,
       You should get a double red light flash after holding the Set button, once you get that release the “Set” button and then you enter 9-9-1, which should give you another double red light flash. Then you press the CH+ button.
       A ten year old TV shouldn’t be a problem, but you may have to manually program it using a code. Also, the time it takes pressing the CH+ can vary depending on the TV. I have heard of people having to press it for up to 10 minutes.

151. I only have one problem I did the 993 code and the volume works now, but I can’t turn the power off or on. Any help?

     • Hey Joe,
       Did you use the 993 code after autoprogramming like what is described in the troubleshooting section?
       Or did you use the 993 code by itself?

152. ,Rca XL-100, did all the lst of codes on site,

     • Hey Michael,
       I was not able to find any additional codes to what I already have listed for RCA. Did you try the auto program method? Try that and see if it will find a code that it can use.

153. Any code for a proscan 32″ model PLDED3273A-B

     Thanks

     Ray

     • Hi Ray,
       I assume you’ve tried auto programming and have already ran through all the ones I have listed on the code page.
       The 10047 code seems to be the most common one for Proscan. I do remember that finding a code for this brand has proved to be a little difficult.
       If you find one that works, please post it here in the comments section for other readers!!

154. I have a Sanyo – code 10154 got it to where remote will turn tv on and off and will adjust volume but I can’t change channels with remote or directly on TV so I’m stuck on channel 3. Comcast has been no help at all – they told me to go to store and replace remote but from reading all of your comments it sounds like it may be the little box. Any ideas or suggestions?

     • Hey Terry,

       Yeah, this has reared its ugly head several times. Have you tried the following?

       1. Unplug the DTA box for about 5 minutes and then plug it back in?
       2. Did you plug the IR receiver in the back of the DTA box? If so, make sure this has a clean line of sight to the remote, or unplug it as it disables the internal IR receiver when plugged in.

       Let me know if this resolves your issue or not.

155. It worked but only if I hold the DTA box up for a clear line of site. TV sets up high and cord isn’t long enough to put the DTA box next to the TV. What is the IR receiver? I take it I need to unplug to make it work right.

     • The IR receiver is a little dome shaped piece that plugs into the back of the DTA box via a jack. It should have came with the DTA and remote. If you are holding the DTA box up and getting a clear line of sight, then you may need to plug it in and mount the IR receiver up near your television. Or, you can point the remote at the DTA box below to change channels, and point it at the TV for volume/power. Either way, the remote needs an unobstructed path.

156. I did what you said and now when I press vol. It dates 4:3 and it won’t let me turn volume up or down

     • Hi Jennifer,
       That is definitely weird behavior. I don’t know what the 4:3 is. That’s usually an aspect ratio for display.
       Does the power button and channel buttons work?

157. Thank you for this! Comcast never answers their phones and I am a renter with my cable provided for I don’t have an account number so I can never get a human being to talk to me.
     I now can change the channels which is great but I can’t get the remote to turn on and off the tv and that is ok! Was tired of just watching NBC after moving here a week ago. 😉 I did this procedure 2 x so no worries just think it is me. Thank your for this tutorial I love it when I ask my computer a question and there is an answer!

     • You are very welcome Pamela!!! Thank you for the great feedback!

158. Stumbled on your tutorial while searching for info on how to turn on closed captioning on my Sony Bravia and a DTA. Spent an hour on phone with 3 comcast folks who told me I need to add a cable box that the adapter won’t work with the Sony. We already have a cable box in the living room. Really don’t want to spend money on a second one. Any ideas?

     • Hi Darlene,
       As far as I know, the CC for the DTA is dependent on the TV itself. So, I would double check the settings on the Sony Bravia. If CC is turned on there, then it should work. If you can’t find a setting for CC, then your TV probably doesn’t support it, and you would need an external device (such as a cable box).

159. Thanks for reply. Turned in our old standard DTA adapter for the new HD DTA adapter and hooked it up to the Sony. Voila! we now have Closed Captioning. We also have a consistently bright picture thanks to the posts about finding and turning off the Ambient Sensor. Turns out the CC is a fault of the Sony. We have 3 other tvs in the house hooked up to the old DTAs and the CC works fine on them.

     • Awesome!! That’s good news Darlene. Glad you were able to get it working.
       Very interesting to know about Sony…

160. Hi Just got back from Best buy bought a RCA 32″ TV for the Bedroom got it all set up and the channels are good the volume is good but seems that I have to use the remote that came with the TV to turn it on and off…So How do I get the on and off to work with the black remote…Thanks

161. I have too add to my message that I have tried the unplugging for 5 min and that didn’y work.,..But like I told my husband so we ue two remotes I have tried everything the only thing on the remote that works is the channels. So we use the one for the TV to turn it on and volume controls…Thanks again

     • Hi Cheryl,
       Just so I understand, you’re saying the auto programming method and all manual programming codes have failed to program the remote?
       What is the model number of your TV?

162. Jay,
     I have it programmed for just changing the channel I guess, because the sound and the on/off do not work on the Black remote,,Anyways the Model # is LED32B30RQD…
     Thanks for your time in this matter. Right now we are using the one that came with the TV (RCA) for on/off and volume…
     Cheryl
     PS I used this code 10047

     • Hi Cheryl,
       Try 10747. Let me know if that one works or not.

163. We have a Toshiba. 90’s model black remote worked now it won’t turn tv off. 9. 1. 1. Won’t work. Now what???

     • Hey Jackson,
       So it worked at one time? How did it get programmed before? Auto program method or manually with a code?
       If it was the auto program method I would assume it will do it again. Remember it can take quite a while sometimes as it cycles through the codes every time you push the CH+ button.
       If it was manually with a code, give your model number and I’ll see if I can help you track one down.

164. Hey Jay, trying to hook up an older Toshiba VCR/DVD combo. Model # MW20F51. Power and volume are fine. Cannot change the channels. Any suggestions? Thanks.

     • Hey Scott,
       Combo units are always tricky. Having power and volume control of the TV, I assume you have attempted to program it? Is that correct?
       The channels should be changed via the black DTA box, not the actual TV. That should remain on channel 3/4.
       If you haven’t tried programming it, have you tried code 10156?
       Keep me updated and I’ll try to help the best I can.

165. I have a GPX tv/dvd combo. Model number is TD2320AR. The only thing that the digital black remote will do is change the channel. Can you help me?

     • Hi Bev,
       Have you tried using the 9-9-1 method to auto program it? TV/VCR combos can be troublesome.
       Try this code 10179. Let me know if that works or not.

166. I have a Insinga TV and the picture is all snowy since my husband hit the remote and change something on there and now we are not able to see anything but snow on the TV, please help we have Time Warner for cable. Thank you Yolanda

     • Hi Yolanda,
       I don’t really have much experience with Time Warner cable. But it sounds like you may have possibly changed the TV channel. Try setting it to CH 3 or 4.

167. Jay, Yes i have tried the 991 and it didn’t work. I just tried the 10179 and it didn’t work either. The red light blinked like it’s supposed to if it’s the correct code but it still only just changes the channels. I pressed the set code after it blinked twice.

168. I cannot get the change channel function to work! I have tried doing and redoing the initial steps along with the trobleshooting addition. The TV will turn on and off and the volume works, but I cannot change the channel! Help!

169. Hi, Thanks for the help. I never get a flashing red light to start the process. I am the 2nd tv and only have a little black box and the comcast remote that goes with it. Can you help? Thanks, at this time, I can change channels but not volume or one and off. This was possible right out of the box. I have an Apex tv and I am not sure how much more infor you need.

     Thanks so much.
     With the way that volume increases with commercials as well as different channels, it is hard to just enjoy the tv.
     Laura

     • Hey Laura,
       What is the model number of your Apex TV? That will help me track down a code.

170. Having trouble with my 93 year old Mother’s TV remote (the old black kind). Tried all of the Phillips TV codes and no matter what I do I must hit the info button AND the power button to get the TV off and on. Channel and volume work perfectly. Any ideas?

171. Jay when I try the 911 under TV mode …it doesnt blink twice after pressing 991…what it does is a long blink after 991. I tried continue the process but no code found. So I tried with the Aux mode and rightly so after pressing 991 it blinked twice, continue the process and it worked! Why would it work in AUX but not in TV?

     • Hi Rana,
       That is definitely weird behavior. I’m not sure why it’s doing that. The good news is that it worked and it found the code! You can follow this tutorial to learn what that code is and then manually program it to the TV button. This will have things working the way they should be, and open up the Auxiliary channel for another device. https://www.easypctutorials.com//how-to-find-the-comcast-remote-code-after-auto-programming/
       Let me know how it goes!

172. STILL Having trouble with my 93 year old Mother’s TV remote (the old black kind). Tried all of the Phillips TV codes and no matter what I do I must hit the info button AND the power button to get the TV off and on. Channel and volume work perfectly. Any ideas? ANYBODY? ANYBODY?

173. Hi Jay. I have the little black remote also and I did everything you said in the example above. My remote will turn off my TV but it won’t change the channel. It’s weird because it was working just fine this morning, I was turning the channels with the remote no problem at all and now it won’t turn. What can I do next? Thank you.

174. Hi Jay, I got it to work. I unplugged the little box and plugged it back in.

     • Hey Eddie,
       I’m glad you were able to get it resolved!!

175. Thanks! Searched everywhere and could not find the codes. Thanks so much!!!!!

     • You are very welcome Andrea!

176. Is there a way to turn close caption off? Were at a condo which has xfinity with the simple remote and little black box.

     • Hey Tara,
       With the DTA box, closed captioning is controlled by the TV. You’ll need to access your menu settings on the TV to turn it on/off.

177. I’ve tried the automatic setting a number of times and I’ve tried manually setting it using each code for a Sylvania TV. The on/off and volume control do not work. I can use the remote to change channels. Can you help? I’ve used the following codes: 11864, 10054, 10030, 10171, 10020, 10028, 10065, 10096, 11665, 11271, 11314, 11963

     • Hey Karen,
       Can you give me the model number of your Sylvania TV? It will help me track down other possible codes for you.

178. I have this DTA 50 remote. Someone suggested me to use set and 981. Now I am unable to change channel. I tried set and then 993 and then I and it is not working. I tried remote for Panasonic Tv and it works with TV turning on and off. I can increase volume on Tv. It does not change channel. Is there a way to reprogram remote to DTA 50. Please advice me by sending e-mail. I would really appreciate the reprogramming remote to DTA50.

     • Hi Rajendra,

       Try using this code 01982 to reprogram the DTA. Let me know if that works or not.
       Also FYI, 981 is a reset code.

179. I found the code for my Sylvania TV w/DVD player! I did yet another search on the web. The code 11864 worked!!

     • Hey Karen,
       That is awesome!! I’m glad you are up and running!! Thanks for posting the code. I will update the list so that it may help out other Sylvania owners.

180. Thanks Jay for replying. I tried 01982. I soon as I press 0 it gives a long beep. anyway I tried the whole code but it is not working. In fact I tried entering all nos. from 1 to zero and it gives a long red light after each nos. except 1. so the code should start with 1 only. I already tried 11187. it is not working.

     Just for your knowledge, I remember when I got this remote as new remote and I tried 983 to get signature code and it was 33602. after resetting it with 981 (It gives 4 beeps), the signature code is same -33602.

     Looking forward to hear from you.

     • Rajendra,
       It sounds like a very unique situation you have there. In your previous comment it sounds like it is controlling the Panasonic TV just fine.
       Have you tried unplugging the DTA box for a few minutes to let it reboot?
       Also, do you have the IR receiver extender plugged in?

       • hi

         I tried rebooting DTA 50 and it does not make any difference. This remote has a Lang button which is used to change language on DTA 50 for individual ch.This button is not working. The red light blinks on pressing every button but does not blink on pressing the lang button. while going thru internet, some one has posted this program,….may be of any help to you.

181. It is delta 3068 remote

182. Hey I get the red light to flash twice but once I enter 9-9-1 nothing happens , my tv model is MAGNAVOX

     • Hey Hillary,
       Hmmm. That sounds weird. Have you tried manually programming the remote using the Magnavox codes?

183. I have Emerson LC320EM3F A. I can not change channel i tried. 11963 -101171-11864.it will power on/off and volume will work, but no channel
     Thanks in advance

184. You just saved me hours of trouble…. You are a lifesaver!!! (lol)
     ★★★★★

     • Awesome Jessy!! I’m glad you were able to save some time!! “Hours of trouble” is never any fun. 🙂

185. Thanks!!! Many of Comcasts website self help page links are broke today and the list to search for your tv model is unpopulated. Then a call to a service agent was cut off 1 minute into the call after 15 minute hold we were cut off.

     I found this web page and had my remote working in less than 3 minutes!

     • Awesome Frank!! I’m glad you were able to get your remote programmed!

186. My Insignia TV will not change channels by using the small black Xfinity remote control; it seems to be stuck on channel 33. I have programmed the small black Xfinity remote and everything worked as directed, but it seems that the TV is stuck on channel 33. On/Off, mute, and volume controls all work, but I cannot change the channel using the Xfinity remote. Is there something I did not do right? Any help would be most appreciated. (This remote has previously worked with this TV without a problem for the past year. This problem started a few days ago.. Our other TV/TIVO/phone/internet all work fine, so it has to be a problem with the TV/remote interface.)
     Thanks.

187. Tried the 991. Tv turns off. Will not channels. Tried 993. Will not change channels. Tv is a Toshiba. Tried all the codes from Comcast remote manual. Please advise.

188. Hi Jay
     Im havinga aproblem with no sound. It’s a magnavox tv serial number 20MS233s. Would u please find me a good code?

     • Hi Rianna,
       You can try this code for programming your remote: 10706
       However, that will not have any effect on sound coming from your TV. Unless the TV is muted or the volume is turned all the way down and the remote is the ONLY way you have to adjust the volume.
       Otherwise, I would say your TV speakers are not working.

189. Hi Jay,
     I ordered an xfinity remote because our pup ate ours and now I can’t get the channels to change. I went thru the steps to program the remote, and the tv did shut off. I pressed setup and then, to turn the tv on, I pressed tv, but nothing happened, so I pressed power and the tv came on, but the channels won’t go up and down and I can’t access On Demand or the guide. HELP! We have a Philips flat screen tv and prior to the pup eating the remote, we used the Comcast remote to change channels and the Philips remote to change the volume and to turn it on and off. Our cable box is an older one, a Motorola DCH3200. It came with a shiny, bright comcast remote, and the one I ordered is an xfinity also, with all the same buttons and features, but is a dark gray color, if that makes a difference. Please help, my husband and I are at wits end! Thank you!

190. I have a black remote with gray OK button it doesn’t have a code search button nor does it have any codes on the back of the remote under the battery thing i m trying to find out how to set it to a Phillips TV it has a power button on left side up top an a mute button on right side up top then the 4 buttons aux DVD sat TV then the info an guide then the 4 channel up an down an vol side to side then clear button on left an go back button on right then 4 button skip slow skip f then OK then numbers 1-9 then enter 0 input then 3 buttons few play fwd under that its rec stop pause

     • Hi Amanda,
       A black remote? Those are usually for the DTA boxes. Standard Comcast remotes are usually silver or dark grey in color. Have you tried using the autoprogram method?
       What is the model# of your TV? Also if you could provide the model or serial number of the remote it may help me to provide better information.

191. hi

     This is regarding delta 3068. I was unable to change channel after programming remote to TV.

     The remote was reset by holding set and no 2 at the same time, but now lang button is not working.

     Is there a way to program lang button?????????

     please help

     • Hi Rajendra,
       Hmmm. The reset probably knocked out some of the programming.
       I’m not sure how to program the language button, not even sure that’s possible.
       I’ll look into it.

192. It is only lang button knocked out. all other buttons are working good. I can program again to Tv. The volume programming can also be changed from TV to adapter. Only lang button is not working

198. The 911 didn’t work for me. Have a dynex TV. But xfinity’s website was a huge help..worked as a charm.

     https://customer.xfinity.com/remotes/

199. Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much. I could get the volume to work directly from the TV. Using the remote has everything working.
     Thanks for sharing the directions
     Tony TIGER!

200. Thanks so much… It worked!

201. went through it, not only did it not work, now only the channel button works. have tried it several times now.

202. Thanks.. this article was the first I checked, and I thought I had a major off-brand tv to work with… enough off-brand that it would not be in the mix of possibility for me to program my remote. It worked on the first try… this is a reliable and helpful article/directions.

     Happy holidays.

203. I’d like to program silver with red ok button Comcast remote to change channels on my TDS DTA model DSM2004. Any tips or codes? Thanks

204. Hey I just read most of these comments and as some said the channels aren’t working it will just say “channel not available” I tried to do it about three times still nothing. What else can I try? On/off button works so does the volume not the channel though. Help

205. We just got a new sanyo and followed your programming instructions for the black comcast remote. Everything works fine except that the mute button no longer works.

206. The sanyo is model FW42D25T. Can you help me find the code?

207. I’m trying to program the little black Comcast xfinity remote to a Memorex model TV.. I have tried the 9-9-1 program code and volume up doesn’t work..can u plz help me program this???

208. Somehow my dad’s tv (only one of three) got set to “Spanish when available” on WGN. When I try to go to setup to fix it, I can’t get to it since there are no arrow buttons on the small black remote. Can anyone tell me how to remove Spanish on this tv with the old black remote?

209. Thank you so much, it worked 😀 I’ve been struggling with two remotes for years haha thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

210. Worked!! Thank you so much… The whole time i was thinking that it was the cable box.

211. How about Element ELEFW3926. No code works.

212. I have a Dynex and have to use 2 remotes , one is Comcast gray remote that changes channel only the Dynex turns tv off and on and zooms , well I lost the Dynex and fixing to have knee surgery and don want to have to get up and down to turn off tv or on ! I have my old remote to my other broken Dynex but it doesn’t work on this one , ! Just wonder why Comcast can’t just have one remote for all this

213. I have a Xfinity/Comcast digital adapter remote. I am not able to find a remote code for my Sansui SLED4015 HD TV from the list of codes for Sansui televisions. I have tried all codes that I could find in the Comcast manual under TV/LCD TV/ Plasma TV and none of the codes work. However, when I did a code search, I found a code that will turn the TV off but not on, the volume and channel function works but not the power on function. The TV remote will turn TV on and off. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. FYI, So we do not duplicate past efforts, these are the Sansui codes I have tried: 10463, 11409, 11904, 11911, 11935. Thanks in advance.
