Comcast cable boxes are not manufacturered by Comcast itself. Instead, they are outsourced to other technology companies, including Motorola. Motorola produces both cable boxes and digital video recorder (DVR) boxes for Comcast. If your Comcast remote was programmed incorrectly or no longer works with your Motorola box, you can reprogram the remote by restoring it to factory settings.
