I recently went digital with Comcast Cable. I followed the directions to set up the cable box and program the remote. The setup codes that Comcast gave me for Symphonic TV's are 10180 and 10171. When I programmed in 10180, the remote did not control the TV at all. When I programmed in 10171, something strange began. When I push the "All On" button on the cable remote to turn on the cable and the TV, both come on as expected. When I push "All On" (or use the "sleep" timer on the remote), power to the TV does not go off. The TV APPEARS to be off but there is still a faint light emanating from the screen and a buzz can be heard. If I push the power button on the TV or on the TV remote, the TV turns off. If I try to turn on the cable and the TV when the TV is in this "sleep" mode, the cable comes on and the TV turns off! So then I have to power up the TV separately.
I asked Comcast for help and they were NO help whatsoever. Can you advise me.
The remotes you get from the cable company are universal and kinda cheap. ive ran across this multiple times but since i dont know what model remote you have the only advice i can give is that the code you used is not the right code if it doesnt do all basic functions (on,off for the tv,volume)its just the wrong code if the codes you stated are the only ones available the book you got with the remote should explain how to run an auto scan.hope i was some help
