Programming the Comcast DVR3 remote to control the Vizio 32inch TV
I recently had to program the Comcast DVR3 remote so that I could use it to power on/off my Vizio tv as well as control its volume. (The instructions are available else-where - but way too complicated in my opinion - so I have rewritten them here) Here are the instructions to program the VIZIO tv
1. Press TV
2. Pess and hold Setup untill TV blinks twice
3. Type in 10178 (thats the TV code) (other TV codes that you can try are : 1758, 0178, 627 and 502)
4. TV should blink twice if it programmed correctly
5. Press TV
To lock volume buttons so that they always control the TV volume:
1. Press TV
2. Press and hold Setup until TV blinks twice
3. Type in 993
4. Press TV (light should flash twice) - this step locks the volume to the TV.
It turns out you can assign other buttons on the DVR3 remote to control more of the TVs functions. Basically you need to do the following steps:
1.Press the TV button.
2.Press and hold setup until TV blinks twice
3.Press 994 - this puts the remote into programming mode
4. Press setup
5. Press the 5 digit code that corresponds to the TV button you want to program (they are below)
6. Press the button on the DVR3 remote that you want to assign the above function to.
7. Press the TV button to finish the setup.
For example say you want to set the Input button on the DVR3 remote to control the TV's input function - do the following:
1. Press and release TV device key
2. Press and hold SETUP until TV button blinks twice
3. Type 994 (now the remote is in program mode)
4. Press and release SETUP
5. Tpe 00090 (the code for the input function on the TV remote)
6. Press TV/VCR (Input) button. (this assigns the function from step 5 to the button pressed here) The remote should blink twice if successful
7. Press the input button to test.
The TV function codes are below.
(Substitute them in step 5 and choose the remote key to assign it to in step 6).

Incredibly useful. One of the most useful posts I've ever read on the Internet. Of course, this solved my problem exactly so it's natural I think that way. Now if only I could find the exact same thing for my Samsung DLP I would be set.
Well said Anon! I second that. After fumbling with three/four websites I got my issue resolved here. When in doubt - listen to the Indian techie :) Thanks Man

I've tried to program the exit button 00216, it blinks twice to confirm, but does not work when the volume bar is pulled up.

EXCELLENT
AWESOME!! This works great! thanks for the help!
U R fucking brilliant! Thank you!
Thanks!! You rock!! :)
Also - Comcast remote with the Red colored Ok/select button requires a 5 digit code (10178 for my Vizio) and the grey Ok/select button needs a 4 digit code (0178 for my Vizio). I have both remotes and programmed them both.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...GREAT POSTING!! I have tried advise from 7 other sites (42" Visio VO420E/VO370M) and almost wore the ink off the remote buttons with no results. Followed your directions and BAM... right on the first try w/code 10178. On my way to the recliner now with only the Comast remote in hand. WHEW, I salute you!
Good god thank you! After 2 hours of searching and trying codes 0178 was the magic number
