I'll probably head down to the local office tomorrow and swap boxes (hoping they have a DCH100), but nonetheless it's really weird behavior. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this sort of wonkiness. I don't even get a clock display on the unit when it's turned on.

I noticed on the new cable box that there is a connector marked serial on the back(it looks more like a headphone/rca jack rather than a DE-9/serial jack). To repair your Motorola DCT700, use our service manual. But other than that, the menu / guide buttons don't work at all. Since I just got TiVo, I had Comcast remove my Motorola DCT6412 today and replace it with a normal cable box(DCH70). A teardown of the Motorola DCT700 all-aigital cable set top box. Same thing, The power button, and flipping through the channels all work fine, so does the numeric pad. Use the HIDEit Uni-M Wall Mount to mount a wide range of devices from routers and modems to cable boxes and satellite receivers Our Uni-M Wall Mount can.

I noticed these remotes are made by One For All, and I have a One For All universal remote, so I tried the same codes gave me on my personal remote (the codes were identical). I've called comcast and they directed me to try different remote codes, suspecting a faulty remote. The power/channel/numeric buttons all function, but nothing even appears on the screen when using them. Furthermore, pressing the menu/guide/on demand buttons do nothing. I can flip through all my channels, but I have no on-screen information showing the channel/show thats on. Have a question - finally switched to Digital Cable today (after they took G4 off analog without replacing it with anything), and received a new motorola DCH70.
