Re: New remote, almost works like old remote... except one thing
The connection is called JP1. The Comcast remotes are typically JP1.2 or JP1.3 to be exact.
The Comcast silver remotes are made by Universal Electronics, which also sells remotes under the 'One-For-All' brand name and OEM's to many others such as Radio Shack. People figured out how to use the connector and wrote software to allow you to program it and even add features (called extenders.)
The original JP1 typically used a parallel port to talk. The newer JP1.x series use a serial port, but are also compatible with USB-to-serial adapters. You can make your own cable or buy one from several people who make them. You can download the software from the site:
