Default Faulty ALL Function on Comcast Remote Control

I'm going to make a wild suggestion... weak battery in the remote control.
The voltage is "sagging" by the time the sequencer gets to the TV power
signal.

I no longer have one of these, so I can't check -- but are you supposed to
hold down the button until everything comes on?

Finally... It might be that the unit is "busted". Of course, since the
operation is under microprocessor control, this seems unlikely.



Thanks for waking my tired brain.

That "thwock" you may have heard wherever you are was ME giving myself a
"dope slap" to my forehead.

It was just run down batteries in the remote. I didn't think of that
because all the other functions in the remote were working just as they
should.

I checked the olde batteries with my little dry cell load tester and
they both read down in the "discharged" range.
