I have recently installed the new(?) Comcast DRV (Motorola DCT6412). It included a Comcast DVR remote (will only support up to 3 devices) The device info is here [Link: broadband.motorola.com] and the remote info is here [Link: comcast.com]. There is no information on the remote other than Comcast and various patent numbers. I also have a JVC HDZ575 TV, Onkyo HTS-706 and Toshiba DVD. I would love to have a single remote control collapse the TV, receiver, DVD and, most importantly, the Comcast/Motorola DCT6412 DVR (tivo like). The Comcast remote simply doesn't have the device capacity or features to do what each device requires. I was considering the Logitech Harmony 688 based on it's tivo support (I have this too but intend on replacing it with the Comcast solution instead) and macro functions (plus reasonable cost) Is there something that can do what the Comcast remote does + support my other devices?

You should be able to control the Comcast with most "One For All" remotes using CBL/0476. As this was originally a cable code, you may need to add the PVR functions using advanced codes, or if you get a learning remote, you could just learn the missing functions from the original remote.

Because I am a remote newbie, I'll have to verify my understanding of your answer (thanks for the quick reply BTW!) The 1forAll is an option because it has a code for comcast support, but not the DVR function (right?) An alternative would be to buy a learning remote and "teach" it the codes from my existing remote (right) Is the 1forAll not a learning remote? I'd rather have the option of being able to transfer codes (if needed) I was looking into the Harmony 688 because I like the USB PC interface for creating macros and uploading new device codes - but would really appreciate your recommendation (what would you do if you were in my position)? I see the MX-700 gets a lot of nods when I read thru Tivo forums too. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
