Samsung: Samsung TV + Comcast Cable Remote
Samsung TV + Comcast Cable Remote
by erier2003 - 10/11/08 7:15 AMWhat procedure would I need to go through in order to get my Samsung LN19A330 to pair with my Comcast remote control? I've tried Comcast's suggestion for automatic programming (http://www.comcast.com/MediaLibrary/1/2/CM/VanityURL/documents/comcast_on_demand_remote_manual.pdf) and I even tried using all the Samsung TV codes manually. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
remotes...
by estephan500 - 10/11/08 9:43 AM In reply to: Samsung TV + Comcast Cable Remote by erier2003hi there. I know this doesn't address your question, but I wanted to say that even though the comcast guys paired my comcast remote to my samsung lcd tv for me, that remote was still pretty bad... and what's more, reaching among three remotes (tv [because the comcast thing didn't take care of all cable box features], cable box, and sound system) was a headache. I bought one of the logitech harmony universal remotes... model 520... and after I spent the time with my computer customizing the functions for the three things, it has been a dream. so I would just say don't waste your energy trying to get comcast's remote to work, instead get a good "activity oriented" remote like the harmony ones and invest your time in that. a serious, serious improvement.
Discrete Code Groupings

Like you, I've spent time trying to figure out how to get universal remote controls to work. Allow me to shed a little light, at least from the manufacturer's perspective, on how those codes come about.
Each television has discrete codes. One code is for power, another for volume up, another for "Menu".. and so forth. As features are added, a new grouping of discrete codes have to be programmed for newer televisions.
Since new groupings can be added, and some codes are reused, don't count on the fact that just because you can power the television on and off that you have the correct code. Test out the volume button, channel toggle and the menu button. If they don't all work, move on to the next number.
I took a quick look at your PDF. Start from the last Samsung model number and work backwards. Here's that list for quick reference:
Samsung 0060, 0030, 0178, 0056, 0702
I have not personally used a Logitech Harmony as the other poster suggested, but I have heard excellent things as far as programmability, updated codes being readily available and ease of use.
If nothing else, you pay for a monthly service from a cable/sat provider. You could always ask for a technician to come out and program their remote.
Keep us posted.

I have the same issue with my Comcast remote and Samsung LN52A750 and can't get them to pair. I even tried the the lower solution on the comcast site (http://www.comcast.com/remotes/universal.html) alternating the power and TV buttons, but no dice.

FiosTvTech,
Welcome to the forum.
If the discrete code assigned to the remote is repeated when pressed down, it seems logical that the desired effect would take place.
When you point the remote at the TV, take a look to see if the IR light responds when you hold down the remote. If it blinks and does nothing, then I would say it's the television. If it doesn't blink repeatedly, then the remote is not duplicating the command while the button is being held down.
I've seen reports of this issue, but just that it exists, and not even just with our televisions. So as far as I know, it's not a known issue at this point.
Keep me posted, and feel free to jump in the forums.

Cable box remote for Verizon STB
by FiosTvTech - 12/15/08 9:57 AM In reply to: Discrete Codes by Samsung_HD_Tech
Thank you for responding to my question. I do install STB's into Verizon customers houses and your correct about it's not just a Samsung's Isolated problem. I do like Samsung tv's. In fact I bought the 52 inch 650 series, I would've perfered to the 750 series because of the ethernet port,but the wife said no do to the budget. Regardless of the remote problem whether its Verizon's problem or Samsung's problem it would be a great benefit to both companies can work together to fix this issue so Samsung and Verizon customers are taken care of. Just so you know for the consumers, do your homework before you go into the retail store to buy. I had a problem getting answers from sale people and their lack of knowlege of tv and their funtions ie. pictures, mp3's, video's and lan. Tv's are not serve just one function they can do a lot of cool things that families can get a lot entertainment value out of them. Good luck!
FIOS REMOTE WITH SAMSUNG TV
by FiosTvTech - 12/15/08 9:50 PM In reply to: Cable box remote for Verizon STB by FiosTvTechI stand corrected. I was wrong! I was able to find a code for the remote to operate the tv properly.
For everyone's benefit...

FiosTVTech,
Could you share that code so that other Verizon FIOS customers might be helped with this issue if it arises in the future?
