Comcast just recently required that I get the Xfinity cable box which comes with a remote control. my question is if i have to use it or if there is a way to get my old remote control working with the cable box. The xfinity remote is pretty crappy compared to the universal remote I would like to be using.
You should have the manual for the universal remote, and it should tell you what types of equipment it will control and the codes for same. If it has codes for Comcast cable boxes, you may be able to make it work. Otherwise, either check different universal remotes or live with the Comcast one.
